How can I view my data from desktop pro plus 2021 without a subscription? I’m not able to open the company file. I was hoping to try the online version, but don’t see how I can import the data from the desktop version if I can’t open the company file.

You can use the trial version for QBD 2021 Pro to open your file and convert it to QBO.

Welcome to the Community, @shellynagle. I can help you provide some information about reviewing your data without subscriptions in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account. 

 

You can still access the data file even if you don't have s subscriptions. Your company's data won't be affected. However, you're unable to use or access them unless you re-activate the service. Once you do so, you'll immediately get to open and view your file to continue managing the growth of your business.

 

I agree with Fiat Lux - Asia that you can utilize the trial version for QB Desktop Enterprise to open the file. But if you need to open files frequently, consider downgrading the files and purchasing a one-time QuickBooks Pro license for QB Desktop 2021 Pro for the time being and then restore your backup file in the trial account, then proceed to convert to QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition, you can check out this resource that provides detailed information about QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies: QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies.

 

Keep me posted by leaving a reply to this thread if you have more questions or concerns about managing your subscription. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Stay safe and take care.

Thank you for your response. Where can I buy a license for 2021 pro?
