How does Intuit announce to its installed base upgrades and patches to QB Desktop Enterprise? and QB Desktop Accountant? We have been frustrated over the past year with upgrades with absolutely no heads up warning.

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, SIAB.

 

Intuit updates QuickBooks regularly to give you a better experience and fix issues. The release process has changed from annual updates to more-frequent release updates throughout the year.

 
When using QuickBooks, you'll receive prompts to install the latest updates as soon as they're available. Accepting the periodic in-product update prompts will ensure you have the latest feature and security updates.

 

All releases are publicized in our Release notes for QuickBooks Desktop 2024 article. You can review it for detailed information about any past or future updates.

 

You can submit feedback on the process if you'd like to. Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with updates which may come in handy moving forward: Update QuickBooks to the latest release

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Hi SIAB, I will try not to go to full lengths here...1) There does not appear to be a regular schedule for updating Enterprise (and many of our significant software vendors operate in this fashion...."We'll push out an update every two weeks...although we may cancel if nothing is important.") That approach allows for rational planning on our end. 2) Despite having all of my contact information in their system, when a haphazard (not regularly scheduled) update occurs....their is no email to their installed client base....the only warning is when one of my people opens QB Enterprise a dialogue box opens and warns them they must upgrade *NOW*. In a Remote Desktop Environment like we have this means that every single server has to be taken off line to install the update....losing significant time for *all* our staff, not just finance.....

1. As I know, no accounting program releases such regular updates. I'm not sure if you could name one here for my reference.

 

2. That's how QB Desktop has worked since its release to the market, and they don't seem to have any roadmaps to overhaul their core program to adapt to current technology. Their primary focus are QB Online and Intuit Enterprise Suite.
