I do not have a one time license for QBDT Mac 2021.  I am looking for a standalone (desktop) version that I can install on Sonoma (I have QB 2016 which I understand will not run on Sonoma).    If QB no longer sells that, I will be forced to use the online subscription.

The link you provided above assumes that you already have a license for a Desktop version,

I have spoken with 3 different sales people who told me 3 different stories about purchasing new QB Desktop software and the Online offerings.so I am at a loss. Is there someone (not a sales person) that can share what options are available for a single user, one company file business?

Thank you for your help!
