Retired but need archive data and QB for personal finances

I know the reason why downgrading the company file is not possible due to future advancements not being included in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Premier 2012, PurpleSage1. Let me explain in detail.

After installing QBDT Enterprise 2023, you can restore your backed-up file from a portable drive. During the restoration process, you'll be prompted to update your company file to the 2023 version. Please note that once the company file is restored and updated, it cannot be opened in earlier versions.

For more information, you can browse this article: Find QuickBooks company data files and backups.

Additionally, QuickBooks Desktop offers various ready-made financial reports that give different insights into your business performance. You can also customize these reports to fit your specific business needs.

I'm here to assist if you need further help with managing your company file in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Feel free to reply to this forum, and I'll respond promptly.

You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA and they may share the option to use the trial version to access your archive data for good.

Thanks for reply. I retired several years ago, have no business and only use my GB's for my personal finances. I have no need for business items (invoices, payroll etc.) I have three business and personal accounts now inactive that I would like to archive. I would like to have a non-subscription Quickbooks download as I can no longer afford my enterprise subscription in retirement.

Can I upgrade my 2012 premier to a current version that I can backup from my current Enterprise 23....In which I can continue my bookkeeper via my new non-subscription service?

You need a workaround to open your company files created in Enterprise in Premier. Have you contacted Fiat Lux?
