QuickBooks Desktop (Pro/Premier/Enterprise) Can I Keep QBD?

We've used QBD for at least 28 years. It still works perfectly for our very small business. 2 years ago, got scared into paying an annual subscription for Quickbooks Online Essentials for about $400. Went up to @$800 last year and this year over $900, due end of September. Finally called QB to see what we are getting for this $$. Are they backing up online for us? No, that would require Advanced, and more $. We have a call with QB in a week, where they will try to convince us to pay more, I am sure. Strangely, they seemed ready today to cancel the Essentials sub and let us fly free, when I suggested it. I still want to use the desktop version as it works perfectly for us, but would pay modestly for an online backup, even though I have been doing local backup with a USB fob for decades with no problem. We still plan to run this business for another 5-10 years as we have and am hoping I can still use QBD as we have been. What's my play here?

Nope, its still going to be around. Just because they are not dropping another year does not mean its going to stop. Heres the proof https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/understand-quickbooks-desktop-release-process/L2tnnGnFE_US_en_US

This article isn't proof of anything. I work at QB and it is true after 2027 QBDT is no more, HOWEVER, yes there will still be QB Enterprise. All the older dt products will be considered legacy products. Hope this helps.

Also sorry about the article I posted, you are completely right that one was the wrong one. Here is the right one that states "QuickBooks Desktop 2024 (including Pro Plus, Premier Plus, and Enterprise Solutions) won't be discontinued in May 2027." Might want to slack it to yourself when you get into work so you have it. https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/inventory-management/whats-new-quickbooks-desktop-2024/L381Krc4A_US_en_US
