During my last call with Quickbooks support in July 2004, I was informed the option to use QB Desktop with a non subscription license is no longer allowed. I’m paraphrasing here but their instructions were, buy an online subscription at a much higher cost, scrap the desktop version, comply with the new terms of use, or go eff yourself.

So I went and effed myself. After 30 years of using Quickbooks our long and useful relationship came to an end.
