I appreciate you coming back and clarifying your concern, Lorraine. This isn't the kind of feeling that I wish you to have regarding how a QuickBooks subscription works and the associated price. I'll ensure you can still manage your data efficiently.

Please know that the link for downloading a trial version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2024 is currently unavailable. This is only accessible in the QuickBooks Enterprise trial install file. 

As mentioned above, once your QBDT subscription expires, you will have view-only access for one year. You won't be able to change your data while your license is inactive, but you can export them so you have hard copies of everything. I recommend performing this and following the steps outlined by my colleague to make sure that you have company details to present for IRS audits.

On the other hand, the promotion price is subject to change and we presently have a discount for 3 months. Once it expires, the program will set the subscription to its original amount. You're eligible to get the discount whenever you buy QuickBooks directly; it is not available if you use first the trial one. 

In addition, please know that you have the option to use an online tool that allows you to transfer your details directly from one account to another if your QBDT is out of date. For detailed information and the process, you can refer to this article: Move your books to QuickBooks Online with an online tool. 

In case you need a specific report on how to verify if your data was imported correctly to QBO, you can read this artilce: Learn about switching from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
