Every year Intuit forces users of its accounting software to upgrade from an older version in order to keep key services such as payroll or accepting credit cards running. This annual process is known as Service Discontinuation. Basically, if you are on a version of QuickBooks that is three years old, Intuit will disable the connected services that work with your QuickBooks product. This upgrade process can be really annoying, but is an official policy of Intuit and hasn’t changed in the last several years. When being forced to upgrade, be sure to spot discounts as Intuit will offer a lot of coupons related to the forced upgrades. AccountingSoftwareDeals.com provides upgrade coupons to QuickBooks financial software. You do not need the special offer code–just click the link and the 20% discount and free shipping will be provided at checkout. If you are running QuickBooks Payroll or accepting credit cards through QuickBooks, you’ll need to upgrade your accounting software every three years because of Intuit’s service discontinuation policy. This year, QuickBooks 2008 will be forced to upgrade to QuickBooks 2012.
What’s QuickBooks Service Discontinuation and How Do I Upgrade?
Service discontinuation is an annual discontinuation of QuickBooks softare that keeps vital services like payroll and credit card processing from working on old version of the software. QuickBooks notes that “Live technical support and add-on business services such as payroll, credit card processing, QuickBooks Email, and online banking will be discontinued for QuickBooks for Windows 2008 and QuickBooks 2007 for Mac and a few other products on May 31, 2011.” That’s right, you’ll need to upgrade to QuickBooks 2012 and QuickBooks 2013 if you’re on the QuickBooks 2008 or QuickBooks 2009 versions of the accounting software.
