Does anybody else have a problem with QB forcing you to update every two years or so if you want to continue using their online features (e.g. backing up data – which costs extra – email…)?
If I don’t want to upgrade, what are my best ways to get these or similar features in conjunction with QB elsewhere? I really feel safe with their backups, because if anything goes wrong they don’t just give you the data back, they help you restore it and iron out the glitches. For emailing invoices and reports I think there’s a way to use your own software such as Outlook, but I’m not sure if it works totally without QB service.
I really would like to stay with QB, not that it’s perfect, but they are making it very costly to continue. I think this is another form of software piracy, basically stealing back what I already paid for… Their upgrades aren’t that great, so they force it on you.
