We have to pay Intuit to be able to access our data - forever. If I understand this correctly, this is a problem with SaaS. If you cancel your Quickbooks subscription, you effectively lose all of your financial information which can shutter your business or cause other unpleasantness.
This is a common practice in all cloud-based accounting apps. You must export your data to another format (eg XLS/CSV) for archive or purchase a third party service to convert your data. From a developer perspective, SaaS is more realistic for revenue streams and they won't be dealing with cracked licenses again.
