Quckbooks Mac desktop 2024

I upgraded to desktop 2024 MAC last year. I DID NOT want to have to worry about annual renewals since I have a small single user real estate business and do not need the online version.  I cancelled the close to $1000 renewal figuring I could continue operating my quick books for a couple of years , then update if I felt it was needed.  I have been shocked to find out that my QB is no longer operational--I cannot print checks or add items into the register!  What's going on?

I understand your sentiments about QuickBooks Mac Desktop 2024, particularly the inability to print or add items to your register, as these features are essential for managing your transactions, Richd2.

 

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac (QBDT) has transitioned from a one-time purchase model to a subscription-based service. When the subscription is canceled, functionality becomes limited. You can still access QuickBooks in "read-only" mode for 1 year after the subscription ends, which allows you to view historical data, but you won’t be able to create new transactions or make changes.

 

To restore full functionality, I recommend contacting our QBDT Live Support Team for assistance with reactivating your subscription. For support hours and details, refer to this article: Get help with QuickBooks products and services.

 

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding QBDT Mac, feel free to comment below.

You may consider switching to old QB Desktop witj a non subscription license immediately.

How do I do that with the migration of the data back to an old version?

You need a PC to do so. The conversion tool dosn't support Mac.
