- Hi Flyingkiwi, I am using Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020 R10P (V30.0D R10 12/11/2020--RB02-/23/2021)
Thanks Andy... Maybe different versions behave differently, but I was stuck last year on QBPro 2020 Desktop too. We can stop (for 90 days or so) the local account login, but that insistant Intuit login to their servers was nasty. For a while alt-F4 on that window helped for a week or so, then it became persistent. I do not want to log in to Intuit servers, with or without my data.
Our own community 'hack' at firewall level has been the only solution so far, and was even recommended by an Intuit employee here... .
We have been talking for the best part of a year and Intuit staff have not really shown interest in helping us, or understood us.
Typical messages have been like this is for your safety... which we do not understand. I suspect this is a hidden program validation connection, as most are 'online' applications, yet we all buy QB Desktop for the offline features, which does not seem to be understood by Intuit.
One day, the engineers might hear our cries.
