ReymondO - It will coma as a very big surprise to users of QBDT 2019 to know that it doesn't require Internet access or a login. Have you actually read through any of this thread which is entirely a series of complaints about Intuit's requirement for users of desktop versions to log into an Intuit account in order to use the product. If your statement is based on an assumption that the desktop version could be installed on a machine that was not connected in any way to the Internet and that the software would recognize that and not require login, well, maybe in some universe there are users who have installed desktop on a machine that has no NIC and no Wi-Fi, but that's not the other 99.998% of the real world users.
