I was able to purchase Desktop Pro 2024 back in July but that was after I spent my time starting on June 18th with them PUSHING the online (QBO) on me. It was a total nightmare for about a month where I was told I'd have to purchase a new computer which I did. I loaded my Desktop Pro 2022 disk I had purchased (I think this is when they stopped producing that kind of product) onto the new laptop I had purchased. Then I spoke with someone in sales that guided me how to do it inside your desktop program. I was sent an email last month from Crook Books stating that the Desktop Pro version was only going to be available until September 30, 2024. After that you cannot get it. It can only be downloaded as I'm not aware of anywhere to purchase it. I get what you're saying because I've used QB for more than 30 years. They just DO NOT care. I've got maybe 2 more years and I'm done with it all.
