They are making you upgrade to the newest version.  I don't understand how that is even legal!  Apparently you can only use a version for so long, then with a newer version some things don't work so you "have to update Quickbooks".  Good way to get another $200. or more dollars from you.  What would happen if your car stopped running after 4 years, and they said you need a new one now to be able to drive?  Or your cell phone stopped working, or any other software?  Seriously, How this this legal.  Someone needs to ask a friend of theirs who's an attorney about this!!!
