Question

QB Desktop

Hi, as we all know QB Desktop is coming to an end on the 31 Jan 23, I spoke to someone at QB yesterday who informed me that after 31 Jan 23 we will no longer be able to access our QB Desktop as they will withdraw the licence.

I have a very big issue with this because our QB Desktop has all our history from the start of the company and I really don't want to lose it, also by Law we have to keep our Accounting records for a minimum of 6 years so how can QB justify their actions.

I have tried the QB Online and uploaded all our information from Desktop to Online as a trial and quite frankly Desktop is far superior to Online, also all our clients that we have made inactive in Desktop were now all active in Online and I couldn't make them inactive.

Does anyone know if there is any way that we can access Desktop after 31 Jan 23

Kind regards

Mario

Is your company located in the UK and must comply with MTD regulations?

Hi Fiat Lux, yes we are located in the UK and must comply with MTD regulations, but my issue is that after 31 Jan 23 I will not be able to open my Desktop accounts which contains all our history.

You can purchase a one-time license for QB Desktop 2020 to open any archive files created in QB Desktop 2020 or earlier versions. Then you can consider converting the remaining data up to now to QB Online or another accounting app.
