I think it is ridiculous to require every QB Desktop user to have an online account.  We don't use any intuit services besides QuickBooks desktop and I don't want to manage a bunch extra online accounts just for QuickBooks.  This "feature" needs to at least have the ability to be disabled.  I think it is silly to force everyone that uses a company file (not just the admin user) to create some random online account that then has to be managed separately.  We have already registered our application with the license servers, that should be all we need to do.  We have desktop specifically for the purpose of not being online with our accounting data.  This needs to be immediately fixed.
