QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2021 20.0 - R14.1 Update QUESTION

Hello,

I just got a message for an update for my Quickbooks Desktop 2021 for Mac.

 

It says:
“** IMPORTANT ** Please Read
This update contains changes for connecting to Intuit Online services that will be required after Jan 2024. Please install the update now so you continue to experience uninterrupted functionality.”

 

When it says: “connecting to Intuit Online services will be required after Jan 2024”, does that mean that we won’t be able to use Quickbooks the regular way. I don’t use any of the ONLINE features and will like to keep using Quickbooks as I always do. 

 

Why the requirement to connect to online services if I don't use them?

 

Thank you.
