QuickBooks Pro 2010 Immediately


I have owned Quickbooks Pro for quite some time. While I generally like the software, I have found over the years that Intuit is becoming more aggressive about revenue generation. Started a while back, to get the pay check feature to work, you have to enroll in at least a basic payroll service with them.

I buy a single user license and have always loaded the software on a work computer, a home computer and a laptop. With Quickbooks 2010, when I called in to register the program, I was told that I could only run the software on one desktop and one laptop. This is a first. The woman assisting me was very persistent in wanting to sell me another user's license if I wanted to continue to run it on 3 machines as I have always done. I declined the offer to buy another users license and we will see if it runs on 3 computers or not.

Additionally, there are pop up windows in the program that ask you if you want to sign up to take credit cards or buy forms from Intuit, anything for another buck. It is quite annoying. Of course the only reason to upgrade is not for any major new features. However after 3 years Intuit cripples the programs ability to download bank information. If you want to continue to do that then you must up grade.
