Question

I just want to BUY a copy of QuickBooks Pro 2024. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?

My wife has QuickBooks Pro 2018.  It's installed on her computer and requires no online connection, no annual subscription, no nothing. She paid something like $249 for it back in the day, and OWNS it.

 

I've been trying to get for her the newest version of QuickBooks Pro, which I think is QuickBooks Pro 2024 based upon my research, but I cannot find a place to just BUY it.  I just want to do what we did back in 2018 where we BUY the software, install it, and then OWN it without constant subscription payments.

 

And don't *EVEN* tell me about QuickBooks Online.  Yuck.  $100 a month?  Are you kidding me?!  And it doesn't even DO half the stuff that QuickBooks Pro 2018 did -- and that's SEVEN YEARS OLD now!  No.  QuickBooks Online is garbage, and she will not use it.  She tried it, and she despises it.  Utter junk.  A horrible, HORRIBLE product.

 

Can someone PLEASE just post a link to an INTUIT website -- not some scammy eBay or Amazon 3rd-party seller -- that will allow me to just BUY this software?

 

Thanks,

L.

@Laurence5905  You can probably still buy Enterprise, but that and QBO are about it as far as offerings from Intuit themselves.

 

Within the last year or two, it was decided that only current US customers will be able to purchase most Desktop products going forward. I'm doubtful that a standalone purchase from that far back counts. This is part of their efforts to phase out Desktop one piece at a time.

 

At best, you might try calling their sales number above and seeing if you get lucky. You should have your QB information handy, account # and all that.

Upgrading QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2018 to the latest version is available for purchase from our sales team, Laurence5905. Allow me to route you in the right direction to acquire the newer versions.

 

With Intuit, we currently offer only QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for purchase on our website. Since the program has discontinued sales for the following products (QBDT Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Mac Plus, and Enhanced Payroll), you can still upgrade and purchase QBDT Pro 2024 from our sales representatives.

 

Also, the information shared by FishingForAnswers above will only affect new subscription purchases. However, existing subscribers can still renew their subscriptions beyond the updates from this article: Can't buy QuickBooks Desktop as a new US subscriber.

 

Thus, you can head to our official website and find the Talk to Sales button to contact our team. They can provide you with expertise in finding the appropriate version for your needs and answering any questions about the product.

 

 

Once you've successfully purchased the new version, you can refer to these articles to upgrade your program and company file:

The problem seems to be that she doesn't currently *SUBSCRIBE* to QuickBooks Pro 2018.  It was a standalone purchase.

 

So how do we get the salespeople to recognize this and stop transferring her to the Enterprise sales department?  She just wants to purchase another standalone product, not subscribe to anything...

 

Thanks,

Did your wife tried to reinstall her QB Desktop 2018 license to a new PC?

I too wanted to buy QBD Pro 2024 and this is the official response as of today. (Not being sold.)

You at 13:08, Oct 27:  i'm just seeing about pricing for QBD Pro 2024

Cameron M at 13:09, Oct 27: its no longer being sold
You at 13:10, Oct 27: so the only way to use QBD is to use Enterprise for minimum of $150/mo?
Cameron M at 13:10, Oct 27: not sure on pricing as i have no info on the account, what we are upgrading etc

@LNS 

You don't need QB Payroll, correct? You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA by email directly and if you are lucky you can still find a genuine subscription license of QB Desktop 2024 Pro Plus/Premier Plus/Mac Plus.
