As I know there is no QB Desktop Ireland version. You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA to be sure. They may help your situation.

Your migration from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO) is our top priority, Failsaf. I'd like to walk you through the process and discuss the QBDT discontinuation.

 

As of June 30, 2023, we have fully discontinued QBDT services for our customers in Ireland due to updates in accounting and tax regulations. That said, we're unable to provide the download link for QBDT 2015. In the meantime, I recommend searching online to obtain the installer.

 

Additional details about the discontinuation can be found in this article: QuickBooks Desktop discontinuation support hub.

 

Once you're able to install QBDT 2015 and clear the errors, you can collaborate with Movemybooks to convert and migrate up to two years' worth of historical data. Before doing so, ensure your data is backed up and readily accessible.

 

Here's how to create a Movemybooks account:

 

  1. Go to this link: Movemybooks. Then, click Get Started Now.
  2. Select Create an account.
  3. Finish the online registration form.
  4. Read and accept the Terms of Use, then Create an account. Once done, you'll receive an email confirmation containing your account details.

 

For the complete instructions, please refer to this resource: Moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, here's a helpful guide to customise your QBO settings to suit your needs and get started with the platform: Get started and adjust settings after you sign up for QuickBooks Online.

 

Please feel welcome to post your concerns in this forum about migrating from QBDT to QBO. The Community team is always available to lend a hand. Keep safe, and wishing you a productive day ahead.

You can contact MMB to convert data to QBO and you can contact Fiat Lux to use the trial version of QB Desktop to access your archive file for good.

Hi thanks for the help, we are thinking now that we will use a trial of 2016 or 2017 to restore our data into and then correct the errors and then start the migration, can someone link me to a download of the UK 2016 or 2017 version please ( we confirmed the UK version works in Ireland)many thanks

I'd be glad to share some insights to get the trial version of 2016 or 2017 to restore your QuickBooks Desktop data so you can get back to your business seamlessly.


QuickBooks Desktop services have been completely discontinued for both Ireland and United Kingdom customers as of June 30, 2023, due to changes in accounting and tax regulations.

 

Since you mentioned wanting to download the UK 2016 or 2017 version, you can visit the Downloads & Updates page to find the download link for your specific version of QuickBooks. From that page, you can also access and export your QuickBooks data at any time using the data export tool.

You can also check this article to check the outlines and reasoning behind the discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop for the United Kingdom. Although this is a UK article this will help: QuickBooks Desktop discontinuation support.

 

Furthermore, here's a helpful guide to customise your QBO settings to suit your needs and get started with the platform: Get started and adjust settings after you sign up for QuickBooks Online.

 

To facilitate your transition from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, we have partnered with Movemybooks, a self-service data conversion tool that automatically handles the conversion and transfer of your data: Moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Fill me in if you need more guidance about restoring your QuickBooks Desktop data. I'm always ready to back you up. Take the best care!

Have you contacted Fiat Lux? They can share the trial version if required.

Hi thanks for all the information about quickbooks desktop being discontinued etc and how to migrate but we need an old version trial to correct data errors before we migrate to quickbooks online. I have downloaded both 2016 and 2021 versions but neither are trials, both ask for codes.. can someone somehwhere give me a trial version of quickbooks desktop that will be able to open a backup file for quickbooks 2015 (irish/uk version) so we can fix our errors and get on with starting the migration. thanks
