CJR, thank you for your reply.

Would you please let us know if QB Desktop can be used without an internet connection once it is installed.

I have used QB Desktop away from my office an have had it cease working if I did not allow it to connect to the internet. I have heard others in very remote locations say the same thing. And I had a client in the Middle East that kept their accounting software on a separate network entirely off the internet for security reason.

How do we turn off the requirement for QB Desktop to periodically go on to the internet to do whatever it is doing so that the software remains functional?

Many thanks for your assistance.

With kind regards,

Mark
