I have Quickbooks 2018. It was not a year subscription. I bought my software outright, and have been using it for my tiny business since 2018. I do not need any online services. However, now when I go to use MY software that I PAID for, Quickbooks will not let me access it without a subscription. I chose to purchase my software outright so that I would always have access to my files, as a subscription was not a good option for my company. Now, Quickbooks is quite literally holding my data hostage in order to push me into buying a very expensive software subscription.

Quickbooks has always touted itself as being small business friendly. How is extorting people and charging exuberant prices friendly to small businesses? This is not the type of company I want to support, and I will be looking into class action lawsuits, as they have stolen my personal property by cutting off my access to a software that I purchased.
