Why, oh why does Intuit think this is an extra layer of security?
For my stand-alone installation. No payroll, no services... yet, because my computer is connected to the internet you demand I log in to your server.
NO!!!! - This is not what we want.
After 25 years using your product, this is our final year.
I have been on this problem for two years now and you refuse to listen to your customers. Now you stop selling a standalone purchase product for a subscription model. I call this internet piracy.

The One Intuit Account is an extra layer of security, provides single login to other Intuit products including payroll, and for you to access new features in QuickBooks Desktop. Please note that this is mandated if:
- A New QuickBooks Company file is created
- QuickBooks Desktop users with connected services such as Payments, Payroll direct deposit, TSheets time tracking, Payroll Workforce, Receipt Management
- The existing QuickBooks Desktop Company file is opened using the Admin credentials and no Intuit account is associated with the file.
I want to make this clear that you'll still get Intuit account prompts regardless if you don't have connected services. The only way not to get this prompt is to use QuickBooks Desktop in an offline mode or not connected to the internet.
