Thanks for bringing this to us, smr360. Let me share some details about opening a company file in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

At this time, opening data from higher to lower versions of QuickBooks isn't available. Moreover, QuickBooks Mac 2021 is being discontinued, and we do not offer licenses for its purchase. To open your data, I recommend finding an authorized retailer where you can purchase a license for the appropriate version of QuickBooks.

I’m adding this article to learn what features in the latest edition help automate and streamline your daily accounting tasks: What's new in QuickBooks Mac Plus 2023.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about this. I've got your back and am always happy to help. Take care!
