I think the point is being missed. I HAVE full paid version of QB21 pro on my computer with a QBB file of an old project I need to pull a report from. QB always touts you own your data. Which is obviously not true. In previous versions (I have been using QB since 2000) you could open your old file if your 3 years or in 21 2 years file after expiration but of course would lose all your online stuff and features, but could pull a report. The trial version is yet another download and only good for 30 days I think it is. What do I do when I need something later? QB has violated the publicized user agreement. Why anyone would then use the online version is insanity. It can not be legal to hold captive financial data for effectively ransom. Lots of us have old files previous to the online version, what is the long term solution? You can not even get a QBB file to the lame online system even if you are willing to pay the ransom.
