Advice on Purchasing QuickBooks Desktop Pro Without Subscription Renewal
I'm in need of some advice on purchasing QuickBooks Desktop Pro. I'm looking for a version that I can buy outright and continue using without the need for annual subscription renewals. I’ve heard that newer versions of QuickBooks Desktop now operate on a yearly subscription basis, but I prefer a one-time purchase if possible.
Has anyone successfully purchased QuickBooks Desktop Pro recently and managed to use it without having to renew a subscription? If so, could you please share where and how you were able to buy it? Any tips on avoiding the subscription model would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

We are Mac-based and I did not delete the QuickBooks 2019 app, @Courtney Duong. I doubt it could read a QB 2024 file so I’m not sure it will work.
My CPA has recommended some alternatives to using classes. I’m going to try these out with Xero, in parallel with QB, until the end of the year. At that time, I’ll decide whether we will stick with Intuit.
Like QuickBooks, Xero limits you to one entity per subscription so I don’t know how much money it will save. But it looks like it could be more convenient.
