Right now Costco and Sam’s Club have QuickBooks Pro 2011 for about $100 while supplies last. This is a great deal and I would encourage you to spread the word!
QuickBooks 2008 and QuickBooks for Mac 2007 will be sunset in May, 2011. This means it will no longer be supported and services will be discontinued in May, 2011. Specifically, the following services will no longer work:
- Payroll services (Assisted,Basic,Enhanced, Standard,Employee Organizer)
- Merchant Service
- Billing Solution (formerly QuickBooks Online Billing)
- QuickBooks Email
- Bill Pay
- Online Banking
- Terminal Download
- Technical Support Plans and Services (and free Online Backup)
Make sure your let your clients, friends or others know if they are using QuickBooks 2008 or QuickBooks for Mac 2007, that they will need to upgrade soon. These sale prices at Sam’s Club and Costco are about as good as it gets. They will appreciate you helping them save money!
