QuickBooks Sunset / QuickBooks Discontinuation
QuickBooks has a policy called “discontinuation” or sometimes referred to in the software industry as “sunsetting.” This means that QuickBooks doesn’t support services (tech support or some product capabilities) for old versions. The reason for this is that it costs the company a lot to keep track of old versions of QuickBooks (also they want you to upgrade to QuickBooks 2009). Here is a common question I’ve been asked about really frequently these days:
Question: What happens if I don’t upgrade my QuickBooks by May 31, 2009?
Answer: The following services and features in QuickBooks 2006 will be “discontinued” or “sunset”
- Bill Pay
- Credit Card Download
- Employee Organizer
- Merchant Service
- Online Banking
- Billing Solution (formerly QuickBooks Online Billing)
- Basic Payroll
- Standard Payroll
- Enhanced Payroll
- Assisted Payroll
- Support Plans and Services
- QuickBooks Email
Question: How can I prevent my services from being discontinued or sunset?
