I have QB Pro 2020 which I run a small payroll on. I know my payroll support functions will cease next year but I refuse to mitigate to the online features as they are impossible and inadequate and frustrating to deal with. Do I still hold my user license for the 2020 software and will I still be able to access it in 2023 without paying a "HOSTAGE" fee?

Login to your CAMPS and make sure you have a one time license for QBD 2020. You can still run QBD 2020 after May 2023 as long as you don't need any online service (e.g bankfeeds, payrolls, emails, 3rd party apps). If your run a business with revenue <50K USD per annum, you may consider switching to a cloud based accounting app with a free plan. You only need to pay payroll as an add-on and you can have multiple businesses as different organizations associated with your payroll account.
