Quickbooks Desktop 2023 upgrade/subscription (2024)

‎May 05, 202312:05 PM

I have qb premium plus and had to by the software last year to upgrade from 2019. Now they tell me I have to pay $2,000.00 a year, as a subscription?

What am I getting by paying this? What if I don’t pay it can I still continue to run QB premium Plus on my network? All Data is saved on our network, so we don’t save anything with their cloud service.

I used to have to upgrade the software every 3 years for $1,000.00 now they want $2,000 a year?

Just confused if I have to pay them this money yearly?

• QuickBooks Desktop

You are using QBD Premier Plus for 5 users, correct?

Plus = annual subscription. They don't offer any one time license since QBD 2022.

Do you also have QB Payroll?

This must be so difficult for you, SignCo_USA.

I have no idea how you must be feeling at this moment. I'll provide additional information about QuickBooks Desktop subscription.

That is true. If you purchased a one-time QuickBooks Desktop license, you can upgrade it every three years. However, no edition of QuickBooks Desktop 2022 and higher offers a one-time license anymore. If you upgraded to QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus, you need to have an active subscription to access and open the data. Alternatively, you can still access your company's files after your subscription expires by using a computer that has an active license.

You'll be getting the following for paying QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus:

• Unlimited support.
• Data backup.
• Allow up to 5 users.
• Ability to track sales, customer payments, product costs, and more.
• Includes more than 150 industry-specific reports.

The cost of the QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus is $799 per year. It may come with a payroll subscription, bringing the cost to $2000. Normally, you'll get a message when you open QuickBooks if a new version is available. Just follow the instructions below to upgrade to a newer version from within the software,

Here's how:

1. When you’re ready, selectUpgrade Now.
2. SelectKeep old version on my computerif you want to keep your current QuickBooks. Then clickLet’s go. QuickBooks downloads, installs, and activates the new version for you. It updates your company file(s).
3. When the upgrade is done, hitOpen QuickBooks.

Go to the Preferences, if you don't get a prompt to upgrade your QuickBooks subscription.

Here's how:

1. Go toEdit, and then selectPreferences.
2. Click General, and then selectMy Preferences.
3. ChooseBring back all one time messagesand thenOK.
4. Close, then reopen QuickBooks. You’ll have the prompt to upgrade your QuickBooks subscription.

Hi,

Thank you for the clarity but I just spoke to a rep with Intuit and they told me it costs $2,000.00 a year because I have 5 users on my network. I used to buy software for 5 persons and it would cost me $750-$800 and I would not have to upgrade for 3 more years. Average cost was $250 per year. Now they want to charge me $2,000.00 per year for what? I do not use the payroll servcice, infact the only thing I use is the accounting software. So why is Inyuit/Quickbooks sticking it to their customers by an 8x price increase. What incentive does a long term user like myself (20 Years) have to continue to use your product? In fact everytime I call them its like I am talking to a robot with a script in place to answer only what is written. Very disappointed, and feeling ripped off as a customer. I will start looking into alternative accounting software.

If you are using QBD 2022, login to CAMPS as the Primary Contact and make sure your billing info is correct before renewal due date. Another option, purchase a new license for QBD 2023 through a partner as a workaround. Your client can get $100 as cashback and tax exempt to lower their cost if required. T&C apply.

I'm here to help you upgrade to the newest version, Virginia.

Yes, once the subscription is auto-renewed, there is no charge for the upgrade.

Let's follow Fiat's suggestion. I recommend asking your customer to log in to Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPs) to check if the 2023 license code is available. Here's how:

1. Go tocamps.intuit.com.
2. Sign in with the correct Intuit Account info.
3. If they see multiple products, select QuickBooks Desktop to go to CAMPs.

Once done, let's use theDiscovery Hubto upgrade the subscriptions. I’ll show you how:

1. Open theDiscovery Hub.
   
2. SelectUpgrade to QuickBooks 2023.
3. ClickProceed to upgrade, then hitUpgrade now.
4. If you want both versions, clickKeep old version on my computer. Otherwise, let's leave it blank.
5. Once complete, clickOpen QuickBooks.

Aside from that, you can also get the latest version of the program from theQuickBooks Desktop Manager. You can select and install the product.

I've also added these resources that'll help you successfully upgrade your customers' subscriptions:

• Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Enterprise

In case you're unable to upgrade, I'd recommend manuallydownloadingandinstallingthe 2023 version. Make sure to use the license details in CAMPs.

Additionally, I've added these articles that'll help you and your customers learn more about the latest features added in the 2023 version and the computer needs for the best experience:

Hello there,

Allow me to add more information. If you have purchased the one-time license for QuickBooks Desktop, you can use it perpetually. However, please note that, in this case, you will not have access to any online services, including the ability to import any QBO files. And if you do not rely on payroll or banking services, you can continue using your discontinued version.

Furthermore, the discontinuation process also applies to subscription-based versions. We will no longer support these versions, and blocking the online services is likely inevitable. Therefore, upgrading to the newer version is highly recommended.

I've also included this resource to help you in the future:Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Enterprise

It is outrageus what Intuit has done with us desktop license owners. They stopped us from being able to download bank transaction data in order to push us online.

F..k them!

I say dont do it. In my opinion, this is abuse of market power.

There are software out there that will import your bank files into your own desktop software. and I believe that many more will be developed as more users like us are unhappy with Intuit services.

I will NOT become an online user, paying 5 times more per month than my previous license. Instead, i will switch providers.

"I have no idea how you must be feeling at this moment." Really? I have a pretty good idea, and I think most of us feel the same way. We've been had. We've put all our eggs into this one basket, and now Intuit has decided that we must pay not only for the basket, but for every mile that we carry that basket.

There is really no other way to describe it than a rip-off, but it is what it is. It's the same thing Microsoft did with Office 365. My company resisted as long as we could, but we could resist no longer. Things eventually stopped working smoothly, we had to pay and adapt. Same thing is happening here. Adobe has done the same thing, everybody that can get away with it is doing it. You just don't buy software any more, you rent it. And the increase in price is sometimes staggering. But we're just supposed to sit and take it because, you know, "increased shareholder value." Like that means anything to us who are not shareholders. We are simply the screwed customers.
"The customer is always right"? That's so 1990's.
