Join nowI just paid $398 for a Quickbooks Desktop Pro 3 year software Upgrade and got the following email an hour later!
Hi,
We noticed you haven’t signed in to your Intuit account for over 180 days. It’s important for an admin to keep company file’s Intuit account active by signing in once every 180 days.
To ensure your Intuit Account stays active and you’ve an uninterrupted access to QuickBooks, sign in once every 180 days.
Why is the program paid update communication broken, wasting my time answering emails that are a fallacy?
Let me share with you some details about the email you received requiring you to log back into your Intuit account in QuickBooks Desktop, Strasso.
Intuit account (IA) is different from your QuickBooks Desktop and Payroll. IA is the account you use to access any of Intuit’s current and future products. An Intuit account ensures the following:
Even if you save your IA Primary Admin credentials, the QBDT file will still require you to log back in every 180 days. This way, QuickBooks will notify you that you're the admin.
With this, I'd suggest logging in to your IA by following the steps below.
For the detailed steps, check out this article: Intuit account – Why now for QuickBooks Desktop?. This will give you in-depth information on why you need to tie your Intuit and QuickBooks Desktop account as well as a link on where you can manage your products.
However, if you're still getting an email about this, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Desktop Support to have this investigated.
Let me route you to these helpful articles about different emails that Intuit used and handling business information.

I just signed into my intuit account.
It does not reflect the $399 purchase I just made to upgrade quickbooks desktop Pro.
it shows that my desktop 2014 is still active, and that is the last product that is in my intuit account.
Seems like this is a complete waste of my time, can you offer any advice?
Turns out I have two Intuit accounts.
One with my user name.
One with my email address. The one with my email is outdated and from 2014.
How do I delete my Old account that I never use?
Let me help you with what to do, @DS57.
Community is a public forum, therefore, we're unable to pull up your old account information here.
The account you have from 2014 is already discontinued. Since you mention you have two Intuit accounts with Intuit, I recommend you reach out to our Customer Support team. They have a tool that could look up further information on your accounts.
Also, they are capable of verifying if the old account can be deleted. This way, you will no longer get that same message prompt every time you access QuickBooks Dekstop.
Let me show you how to contact support:
I'll also add these article for your reference:
- Contact QuickBooks Desktop support
- QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information
Just reply to the thread if you have additional concerns. Have a good one!

That is incorrect. Please see screenshot.
The account from 2014 is NOT discontinued, it is ACTIVE.
This 2014 account has no option to delete, and the user name is my email address, while this account, which is current with my latest purchase 2021 QB, and the last few years of upgrades, logs in using my user name.
HOW do I delete the 2014 account that is "ACTIVE"??
I can't reach anybody in Quickbooks Support, they're not responding, Chat is closed, etc.
