Hi, @jr56. Thanks for joining us in the QuickBooks Community.

I've got the steps to upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2019 to the latest version.

Since your QBDT 2019 is a stand-alone product, you'll have to purchase the latest version from our sales team and download the installer for the upgrade. You can follow these steps:

1. Create a backup of your company file to have a restore point.
2. Purchase an upgrade of your QuickBooks Desktop version. You can contact our sales team to request a higher version of QBDT.
3. Go to the QBDT Desktop Manager website. 
4. Select the appropriate version and click Download. 
5. Open the file and follow the on-screen steps to install and activate the program.

Once done, you'll need to update your company file so it works in newer versions.

We're here in the Community if you need further assistance upgrading your QBDT seamlessly. We're committed to offering ongoing support. Take care.

You can purchase QB Desktop 2024 Pro Plus to upgrade your version. Call their sales team or you can purchase the new license thru selected partners. You can get $100 cashback.

Can you direct me to any selected partners where I can buy the upgrade?  Thank you!

We can directly connect with our sales team to help you upgrade to the QuickBooks Desktop plan instead, flhr.

Please note that we no longer sell retail products or work with partner distributors. The new QuickBooks Desktop licenses can be purchased directly from our official website only or through our sales team.

To connect with our Sales team, click the For Sales button on our official website and dial the contact number. They can provide guidance and help you choose the best QuickBooks Desktop version for your needs.

Also, QuickBooks Desktop is available in the Enterprise version, and it is the only desktop version eligible for upgrades. See this page for your reference: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/enterprise/pricing/

Please feel free to add a reply if you have any additional concerns you'd like to discuss further.

Where is your company located? US or another country?

I'm not sure what you mean.  Please tell me the cost, otherwise I'd rather go through a reseller.  I have my own business, and I'm the only employee.  I've used QuickBooks for 20+ years, but can't really afford what Intuit wants to charge.  If you have an economical solution for me, please contact me.  I'm evaluating Xero, Wave, Zoho, ECT or I may never update one of my computers, since I am going to retire in 3 to 5 years.  Stop trying to rob is small guys. Give me an email tomorrow, or refer me to a reseller that can help me.  Thank you! 

I am a one person company in the US.  No payroll, just bookkeeping and accounting reports.  Thanks for replying.

You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA via email directly. They can help provide older QB Desktop with a non-subscription license to upgrade your version or other options that suit your needs.

Thank you.  I will contact them on Monday.

Do you have any other recommendations.   @Fiat Lux - ASIA is responding, but they are only available when I'm not due to the time difference.  Thank you!

You can contact them again and ask them to reply immediately at a time convenient for you. You can also ask them to schedule a Google Meet session if needed.

Thank you for replying.  I assume you have no other recommendations of reliable vendors.  Is that correct?

I also only recommend Fiat Lux to my clients.

Thank you.
