UK trial version of QB Desktop
I have been using QB Desktop 2014 and now want to move to Online, but need to upgrade the company file first. The support article suggests downloading a trial version, but when I try to open my company file with QB Desktop Pro 2020 I get the message This company file was not created with the US version of QuickBooks. How can I get a trial version of QB Desktops that will open a UK company file and allow me to upgrade to online?

You have to purchase the QB Desktop subscription thru a reseller
https://quickbooks.intuit.com/uk/desktop/
If your company is not located in the UK, consider using QBD US version with a one time license instead.

Hi. When installing and running the uk trial version it asks me for a license number & product code. I see the US version gets these listed on the download page for access to the trial version, but the UK trial version does not?
How can I access the UK trial version?
For your info, I'm looking to upgrade from running the 2013 pro QB.
Many thanks!

Apologies, but that link does require a product & license key.
The only download I've seen that doesn't require a key was the US version, but that one wouldn't accept my UK backup file.
It seems my only choice is to purchase a new UK license?

Thanks for your swift response, @Dart2309.
As an additional insight, You may need to use the converter kit.
Download and install the upgrader's kit (QuickBooks 2006)
Click here to download our upgrader's kit and save the .exe file in a temporary location on your computer. This upgrader's kit is a special trial version of QuickBooks 2006. It'll ask you to install SimpleStart, Regular, Pro, or Premier Accountant edition.
Install the same edition you are currently using. After installing, you'll have two months and six uses before the software acts you to activate. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the file and double-click the .exe file that you just downloaded. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When asked for an installation code, use the following: 26512-85587-55550-710133. This code will allow you to use the trial version of QuickBooks for 60 days, but you will not be able to activate it.

The first two download links on this page are the same and they are not the trial version.
The third link (for accountants) does appear to be a trial version, as it even has the word trial in the file name.

I had the same issue as you. Found the free trial license number & product code, but it only works for the US version. I eventually spoke to a v helpful desktop support consultant called Ashley Horne who confirmed that the UK website is currently not linking to a free trial version, as a free trial should never ask for a licence key. Instead he gave me a link to download an ACTUAL free trial of Desktop Pro 2021 which has now worked. I'm not allowed to post a weblink here, but Ashley can be contacted on the Desktop Support Line: [phone number removed]

I have downloaded the trial version of QBDT UK Premier 2021, but it wants a licence key. I thought the trial version didn't require a licence key?

It seems the file you have downloaded is only the installer. Afaik, trial version for QB Desktop UK version does not require any code. Why do you need to try QB Desktop 2021 UK version? We may share the trial version for QB Desktop 2020 UK version if required.
