TL;DR: A new customer in the United States can still buy QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise on the 2024 platform, but Intuit no longer sells new Pro Plus or Premier Plus subscriptions. Eligible existing Plus subscribers may renew, and Intuit says the 2024 release now has no announced sunset date.
Yes, but the edition you can buy matters. In 2026, Intuit continues to sell QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to new customers, while new U.S. subscriptions for Desktop Pro Plus and Premier Plus are closed.
Can a new customer buy QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2024?
Not directly from Intuit as a new U.S. Pro Plus subscriber. Intuit stopped selling new Pro Plus subscriptions after September 30, 2024.
Existing eligible Pro Plus subscribers may continue renewing. Their software can remain on the Desktop 2024/24.0 platform and receive updates while the subscription and eligibility remain active.
Can a new customer buy QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2024?
The same rule applies to Premier Plus. Intuit no longer accepts new U.S. Premier Plus subscribers, but eligible existing subscribers may renew.
A product page advertising a new perpetual Premier 2024 license is not the same as an Intuit renewal. Intuit says it no longer offers non-subscription Pro, Premier, or Mac products and warns about unsupported or unauthorized online listings.
Can a new customer buy QuickBooks Enterprise 24.0?
Yes. Enterprise remains available to new and existing customers. Intuit offers multiple Enterprise plans, and the appropriate plan depends on required features, payroll, users, hosting, and budget.
Enterprise 24.0 is part of the same continuously updated Desktop platform commonly called QuickBooks Desktop 2024.
Is QuickBooks Desktop 2024 still supported?
Intuit announced that Pro Plus 2024, Premier Plus 2024, and Enterprise Solutions 24.0 will not be discontinued in May 2027. It says version 24.0 will be maintained for years to come and has no announced sunset deadline.
Support can still depend on an active subscription, the edition, current updates, and Intuit’s terms. “No announced sunset date” is not the same as an unconditional lifetime license.
Why is the product still called 2024?
Intuit moved away from releasing a completely new Desktop version every year. The company now publishes periodic updates to version 24.0, including new features, security patches, and compliance changes.
That is why there is no conventional separate QuickBooks Desktop 2025 or 2026 product. Learn more in Is QuickBooks Desktop 2025 available?
