The answer I got today November 13,2023 was that if we want to use desktop enhance payroll and continue to get Qtrly updates and file Qtr tax through the QB sites, we will have to go on the annual subscription. 

We also have to pay for each license we have, so for two pc operating each license, i pay $849.00 and that is not including the $50.00 flat rate for employee use, or the now $5.00 per name of employee. so my new QB usage, not by choice is running about $180.00 month for 5 - 8 workers.
