QuickBooks Desktop version is not going away.

Recently, there has been considerable misinformation regarding a “sunset” or discontinuation of QuickBooks.

This is not true. It’s not happening.

The truth is that QuickBooks is changing the purchase model to a subscription. All versions of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise became a subscription product a few years ago. Enterprise is purchased with either monthly or annual subscriptions. Peak Advisers can offer a perpetual discount on QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise if you buy through us.

It’s QuickBooks Desktop Pro and Premier’s turn to become an annual subscription product. Over the past year, new QuickBooks Pro and Premier purchases have moved to the Pro Plus and Premier Plus products.

If you purchased your QuickBooks Pro or Premier before 2020, you will find some product services will no longer function (i.e., Currency update, Payroll Subscription, etc.). These older versions of the software will be out of compliance and outdated as of January 31, 2023.

Honestly, this isn’t out of the normal for QuickBooks. Updates of older software versions have sunset after four years of service for the past many years. The products don’t update after four years because they need to be upgraded to a current application with proper privacy, security, and the newly developed features that older products don’t have.

Flagship Product

QuickBooks Desktop is a flagship product for Intuit; it is not going away. It is just changing to subscription products. Contact Peak Advisers to upgrade the old software that will serve you for many years.
