News Flash – QuickBooks 2010 service discontinuation policy and upgrade information
Published 01/10/2013 | Intuit has announced QuickBooks 2010 service discontinuation will be on May 31, 2013. All the 2010 QuickBooks products plus QuickBooks POS v8 and v9 will no longer be supported.
If you need to upgrade, visit our webstore for huge savings!
Live technical support and add-on business services such as payroll, credit card processing, QuickBooks Email, and online banking will be discontinued for QuickBooks for Windows 2010, QuickBooks 2010 for Mac, and a few other products as of May 31, 2013.
Intuit is committed to developing easy, straightforward financial tools that help you today and grow with you tomorrow. But it’s a balancing act – making QuickBooks better and easier to use while still supporting older versions. So we offer support for the current version of QuickBooks and the two previous versions.
This article explains what service discontinuation means to your business and provides information on upgrading to the latest version of QuickBooks.
What service discontinuation means
Products affected by service discontinuation as of May 31, 2013, are listed in the table below. If you don’t make use of live technical support or any of Intuit’s add-on services, and are happy with your current version of QuickBooks, you can continue to use it.
If you are using a product affected by service discontinuation and want to maintain access to live technical support and add-on services, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of QuickBooks no later than May 31, 2013.
As services to older versions are scheduled to be discontinued, we notify affected customers in advance by mail or email and through in-product notifications and information on this web site, such as this article. Please keep an eye out for updates on our future plans as they become available.
Affected services
Upgrade as soon as possible to retain access to the following add-on services and live support. Click any service below to learn how it is affected by service discontinuation.

After May 31, 2013, you will no longer be able to use the QuickBooks Email service to send sales receipts, credit memos, purchase orders, reports, and forms. If you choose not to upgrade, you have 2 options:

- You can email forms and reports as .pdf files using your own email account, but not directly from QuickBooks.

If you are using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 10.0 and have an active Full Service Plan, you will continue to receive support until the expiration of your plan.

- Company file conversion. When you upgrade, you are prompted to convert your company file so it will work with your new product. We take great precautions during this process to protect your data. For example, QuickBooks verifies the integrity of your data file and helps you perform a backup before the upgrade process begins.

We make every effort to provide customer support for registration and licensing for older versions of QuickBooks under Intuit’s standard terms and conditions, if that data is available. Unfortunately, we cannot assure that we will be able to register, provide keycodes, or offer data and password recovery for older versions of QuickBooks.
Similarly, although we are not able to provide replacement CDs, disks, or manuals for unsupported versions of QuickBooks, we do provide download files back to QuickBooks 2006.
