 How many Mac users were effected with the money grab Intuit placed on Quickbook for Mac users with Sonoma update?   Only 21-24 versions which are subscription based are supported for update.  Many versions crashed after updating to 14.0.  The Intuit grab off Mac users  was well planned as Beta users brought it to their attention in June. When you call for an update you are then directed to a subscription basis for the update.  With a discount for  year one  it was 350.00 which goes up to $600 for year two.  This price is for General Ledger only.  No billing, payroll, or invoicing included in their great price.  For a small business I feel it is bloody expensive. 

Thank you for allowing me to vent my frustration with Intuit Quickbooks for Mac

    Subscription pricing is inevitable for software that needs constant maintenance, it's not worth fighting it. $600/year is expensive but accounting is an essential part of running a business and it can be baked into pricing. If a company sells 100 products per month, charge an extra $1 per sale and the accounting software is covered.

    If you really need to keep running perpetual license software, virtual machines will let you do it. For CPU-based apps, Windows/Linux/Mac virtual machines inside Parallels/VMWare/UTM (latter two are free) run near native speed and you can run these forever no matter how Apple changes the native system.

    Yes sir, I agree all software is going the way of subscriptions.  With a beta release in June, could it have been discussed? 
    My business is agriculture land that was left me.  In the marketing of cotton or corn it is difficult to add on $1 for every 100 units sold.

    Thank you for your reply,
    Warm Regards,
