Thank you for sharing your concerns about the discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise Solutions 22.0, CyrusR. I understand that with your company having closed in 2024, continuing to pay monthly fees can be challenging, and you want to ensure ongoing access to your important data.
To clarify, you’ll still be able to access your QuickBooks data after May 31, 2025, but please note that Intuit will no longer provide support, updates, or services like Payroll and Online Banking. Since your QBDT Enterprise is subscription-based, once it expires, you'll have read-only access for one year which allows you to view, but not edit your files. After that, you have to renew your subscription to regain full access.
Refer to this article for more details about the QBDT 2022 service discontinuation: QuickBooks Desktop 2022 service discontinuation policy.
Regarding your concern about ongoing fees, the one-year read-only access allows you to review your data without additional charges. To ensure you retain permanent access to your accounting information without continuing to pay monthly fees, we strongly recommend exporting all important data and reports before your subscription ends. Exporting your data in formats like Excel or CSV will help you keep your records accessible even after your subscription expires.
You may also consider moving your QBDT file to QuickBooks Online. This allows you to access your accounting data from anywhere, with cloud-based features and automatic updates. QuickBooks provides tools to help you easily migrate your company file while preserving your lists, balances, and transactions. For guidance, please refer to this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.
Please feel free to return to this thread if you have any further questions about accessing your data in QBDT, CyrusR. We’re here to help and support you throughout the process.
