It's not necessary to update your QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021, @thetagman.
Even after this program is discontinued, you will still be able to use it. However, please note that if you don't upgrade your QBDT account, you won't be able to use add-on features such as bank feeds, payments, payroll, and other functionalities. Additionally, you will not receive any major or critical updates from us.
In the meantime, you can upgrade to QBDT Pro 2024 to continue using the application seamlessly. Also, please know that this version will no longer be available to new subscribers starting July 31, 2024.
