Hello, nealbooks.
Thank you for reaching out to the Community. In QuickBooks, we can't use the trial after expiration. You'll use other people's QB 2022 to restore the QBW file before exporting the QBO.
Additionally, you can reach out to a Pro-Advisor near you who has QB 2022 and share about restoring the company file. This way, you can export the data to QBO.
Also, If you have a QBW file or QBB file, here's how to locate them. Let's go to your computer server and perform a wild card search for all company files. Let's make sure to include the asterisk (*) before the extension type to ensure the search works correctly.
- *.qbw (Working File)
- *.qbb (Backup File)
- *.qba (Accountants Copy File)
- *.qbx (Accountants Transfer File)
- *.qby (Accountants Change File)
To learn more about the exporting and importing process, kindly refer to this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online. It provides an overview of the procedure, ways, and things you need to keep in mind when you import or export data.
Please leave a comment in this thread if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always here to help. Take care and have a great day!
