Hello JohnFlahive, thanks for coming back to us, so just to give all our customers clarification on what is exactly going on in regards to desktop being discontinued so you all know.

So all QuickBooks Desktop UK versions will be expiring and will not work after 31st January 2023.

You will not be able to buy 2021 version outright. QuickBooks Desktop will cease to work from 1st February 2023 and you will need to migrate to QuickBooks Online or another software and export the data of your desktop version.  

There will be an update in the coming months to help customers download their data. 

We're sorry for any confusion but I hope this clarifies the situation.
