AlexV -  Your response is really just more of the usual Intuit platitudes, but one thing caught my eye and that was your comment that the login requirement will continue unless the user is "...in offline mode or not connected to the Internet..." Great information. That implies there are two distinct means of avoiding this login, go to "offline mode" or not be connected to the Internet. So, tell me, how, exactly, can I set QB Desktop 2019 to "offline mode?" I understand the not connected to the Internet part. A very vast percentage of users have QB Desktop installed on a computer that is also either connected to a LAN which is also connected to the Internet, or they are using a desktop workstation that is also used for browsing, shopping, or other activities Are you actually implying that to avoid the loathed login requirement the Intuit customer running QB Desktop would either need to umplug from the Internet, or install QB Desktop on a separate computer that is not onccected to the Internet.

Just curious. I will look forward to your response.

Best.
