Hi TheSeltzerGroupNYC,
The prompt to log in to your Intuit account when creating or opening a company file is actually a new update in March 2020. The purpose is to strengthen security and license processes. However, you can choose the Remind option if you won't choose to log in to your account. But to answer your question, you'll still be asked to log in after 7 days.
See the release update notes for your reference:
Let me know if you have more questions on the prompts or messages you see in QuickBooks. Have a good one!
