Upgrading to QB Desktop Pro Plus 2023 from 2020

I am in the process of upgrading to QB Desktop Pro Plus 2023, but I'm stuck.  We've already purchased the upgrade and I downloaded it this morning.  Where I'm stuck is opening the company file.  I find the file, but it keeps telling me "This company file needs to be updated.  Please ask your QuickBooks Administrator to update the file.".  I did an update in our QB 2020, saved a backup and still get this same message.  What do I need to do differently?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you open the sample file on QBD 2023?

Hi Fiat Lux - ASIA:

 

I suppose I can open it.  I'm not quite sure why you're asking.  Are you seeking support or offering a solution?

If you don't need to use your old QBD 2020, please contact me in private. One of my clients is looking for a license.
