Let me share some information on what will happen to your QuickBooks Desktop if you don't renew your subscription, Joe_Survive.
You can still access your QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise company file even if you do not restore your subscription. However, you'll be unable to continue receiving the security updates and online services, such as the following:
- QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Services
- Live Support
- Online Backup
- Online Banking
It only means that you can only use the software for manual tracking and keeping your company data. Here's an article you can read for more insights: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information. In addition, you can check out this resource that provides detailed information about QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies: QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies.
Also, you have view-only access that remains for 1 year after your subscription ends. During that time, you won’t be able to edit your data with your inactive license. But, you can renew your subscription or export your data. To view your data after 1 year, you’ll have to renew your subscription. For more details, you can check out this article: Renew your subscription or use view-only mode in QuickBooks Desktop.
