I acknowledge that ensuring your business needs are met when choosing a QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) version is vital, KJKoenig. Allow me to share information about managing your product version, including how you can avoid logging into your account regularly.
QBDT undergoes yearly updates to ensure you receive the latest critical security patches, fixes, and features to protect your data and enhance your navigation experience. Each version of QBDT has distinct features, which makes downgrading your plan currently unavailable to prevent loss of specific data or functionality. Also, you'll be more likely to encounter compatibility issues without access to our live support if you keep using a discontinued product version.
On the other hand, you can set your company preferences to determine the days you'll stay logged in to your account. This way, you'll be automatically logged out of QuickBooks only after the specified period. Let me show you how.
- Head to the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
- Once on the Preferences window, pick General in the left panel.
- Proceed to the Company Preferences tab, then the Manage Login Settings section.
- Tick the Keep user logged in option and identify the days for the login period.
- Select OK to save the changes.
