A smart person has read the release notes and doesn't mind signing in as the Administrator every 90 days. But apparently you have not read these posts. We are not talking about signing on as an Administrator, we are talking about signing into the intuit website. You should not have to jump through hoops to use a computer program, especially one you have paid hundreds of dollars for. Good try but no cigar!

Apparently, either you have NOT READ what I wrote, or you can't read. Re-read my post carefully... or if you can't, I'll do it for you.
I said "Release 6 says: "Admin is now required to sign in to their Intuit account when:
Creating a new company file
Opening an existing file"
The Intuit account requires an active internet connection and user account registration. Logging into a local company file as the administrator (which is how the software has worked for decades) is not what I referred to, nor does this entire thread. Every moron that walks the earth already knows that the prompt to login to a company file can be delayed for 90 days. The online Intuit account prompt, is something I have NEVER experienced on our production company file, since using the software since 2020, since I have been on release 5. The only prompt I see when opening Quickbooks is the local prompt to enter my admin username and password to access the local company file.
Does this make sense, or should I translate this into a different language?
As stated previously, for Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020, Release 6 forces the user to login online permanently, and forces the user to update their company file - preventing a rollback. Release 5 does not, and previous releases for other software versions/years do not either. Fortunately, I have archived all desktop releases from 2010 up until 2022, for this very reason. Installing a release (5 in this case) prior to the forced change, negates this entire issue... There is no login prompt for an Intuit account - ever.
For anyone else that needs a specific release that has been pulled off Intuit's servers, search which one you need for your software after reviewing the release notes for your particular version/year, and send me a DM. I have access to hundreds of them.
Now where's that cigar...
