just as a heads up.

  • Our copy of QB2020 desktop has always been in a Virtual Machine.
  • our subscription is monthly on the 1st of the month and the last direct debit was taken 1st March
  • on 15/02/2023 I blocked the VM from accessing the internet and the software continued to work.
  • I have just cloned the VM and set QB to use a separate copy of the company file  
  • In the cloned VM I have disabled date synchronisation and set the system date to 01/08/2023
  • Running up QB2020 it picks up the date of 01/08 and appears to be working normally
  • I then shut down QB, changed the system date to 01/04/2024 and again it appears to be working
  • In both cases I've simply written a single cheque so not definitive

so my main question remains. How do they intend to disable software that is not accessible
