QuickBooks 2015 Services and Support will be discontinued on May 31, 2018

Still using QuickBooks 2015 software version?

It is that time of the year, the time during which Intuit implements its sunset policy. In other words, they will discontinue support and other relevant services related to QuickBooks 2015 Pro, Premier, Accountant, Mac and Point of Sale versions. This can be extremely inconvenient for many people who want to continue using a specific service or software.

QuickBooks products generally come hand-in-hand with this sunset policy. After about three years, if you continue utilizing a particular version of the software and do not upgrade it, you will not receive any technical support, nor will you be allowed to do any online activities, such as payroll or banking. In short, you get three years before a particular version is obsolete.

Older versions are usually put to rest at the end of May each year. The QuickBooks 2015 version is scheduled to be discontinued on May 31, 2018. After this date, only 2018, 2017, and 2016 versions of the QuickBooks software will be fully supported by the company. Therefore, you should buy the new version as soon as possible!

What QuickBooks features will be unavailable?
