    Default Accounting software

    Hello

    Does anyone know how long you can use a software without updating i.e Quickbooks. I've heard alot of bad reviews about the 2008 version, so I'm thinking of purchasing the 2006 version. How long can I use it for. I know Quickbooks may stop supporting it, but when they do, can I still use it, will it work the same?

    Thanks

    The main issue is changing PC's as you have to ring up for an activation code - which they tend to stop giving you once your version is 2-3 versions old.

    There is no fundamental accounting reason that these bit of software stop working.

    When I was running payroll with Quickbooks, I had to upgrade Quickbooks because they would not support Payroll. We do not run payroll now on Quickbooks and do not intend to upgrade Quickbooks. We are running version 2006.
