We're looking for a solution that lets us view our old QuickBooks Desktop accounts in perpetuity after June 2023, when Quickbooks is discontinuing its Desktop product. QB Support tells me that our Desktop app will not start and instead show an error message after 30th June. They offered their Export tool, but that will only last for 7 years and we will need to access our old accounts with no time limit.

We migrated our day-to-day accounts off QB Desktop to Xero in 2020, so we don't need an ongoing solution. We just need a permanent means of viewing our old accounts from time to time.

Does anyone know of a solution to this? Ideally, we would want a permanent licence to the latest version of QB Desktop in read-only mode. We of course acknowledge that QB would not be obliged to provide ongoing support.
