I have a similar problem as the first reviewer

October 1, 2018

The CD came in an envelope, no box, with no license or product code. An email contained this information but the link to download the software does not work. Luckily, I did not need it. I have not been to my client yet to test the codes provided in the email. I will update this review after I install the product at the customer's location. Every other time I have purchased QuickBooks in the past, the codes are included in the box. This does not make me comfortable.
Update: I did successfully install this and the supplied codes worked.

Quickbooks RIP OFF, Worst Version EVER, DO NOT BUY, YOU WILL LOSE DATA

March 19, 2019

I have been using Quickbooks Premier 2016 with no problems. However, Quickbooks is discontinuing payroll on 2016, thus FORCING an upgrade.

Unfortunately, the upgrade is so full of bugs as to be unusable. The employee and payroll data have completely disappeared. Other problems prevent backing up data.

Over 8 hours on the phone with support could not solve the problems.

So, not only is this product a total rip off, piece of sh*t,
BUT also
Quickbooks is using extortion tactics to FORCE people to buy it!

I have been a loyal Quickbooks user for more than 30 years, but no more. They have lost a customer.

DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE unless you want to lose data.

I Despise Interruptions - Getting tired of swatting annoyances

May 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been using Quickbooks for quite a few years. I have two 'versions' now, One for my retail and one for my remodeling which are 4 computers. (Desk/Lappy Contractor - another Desk/Lappy Retail) So what I am about to outline below, I experience 4 times the aggravation

Why do tech companies find it so amusing to interrupt the user as they are trying to be productive with periodic advertisements popups? I HATE THAT! C'mon, we get the OS being annoying, we get our software being annoying, we have our phone being annoying and we have clients being annoying, salespeople being annoying and our government being annoying. How would software companies like me to plaster a banner across their windshield as they are driving down the road or across their office window? It doesn't stop there though, how about those annoying yellow What's New crap plastered all over the programs interface. Gee like we didn't see the same thing when we first installed and after every beta update...aka patch... grr.

Program takes awhile to load despite having a high powered multi-core, 32GB Mem, on NVMe SSDs. Maybe because it's phoning home on which ad to popup first and the multiple component processes it has firing up by default despite not really needing ALL of them depending on how you are using it. Maybe because it has to hook IE because it's IE dependent or it could be bad coding because of the redundant copy and pasting from one version to another. You ever notice how they don't iron out the bugs before the release their next beta... I mean... version? Maybe it's the snoopervising scripts that a lot of these companies like to insert calling it 'telemetry'. Personally, I think it's a combination of it all.

I forgot to mention in my initial review/experience the excessively high CPU use while sitting idle over a bit of time. Eventually you hear your cooling fans ramp up and discover QBW32.EXE is churning your CPU 50 - 60 %

That all said, it does have it's uses and helps tremendously in keeping track of stuff, correlating stuff and managing certain stuff assuming it's doesn't bug out and you can actually find out how to do what you are trying to do, making sense out of their 'Help'.

Which leads me to ...
Outsourced support help from glorified FAQ script answer kiddies who don't know how to do much but parrot stuff from a script.

MS Excel 365 not working well with QB

April 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

Many of the functions in "Summarizing Data In MS Excel" (365) no longer work. Using QB Payroll; we used the "State Wage Listings" TAB to print reports to pay Local Taxes. It was a quick and easy way to file reports and calculate the differences between Federal, State, and Local Payroll taxes. Now all that shows up is "Federal Unemployment". We were on line with QBs for over two hours. Finally, they determined that MS and QB software were no longer exchanging information in this area. We were the first to report it. If it is ever fixed we will update our REVIEW.

January 22, 2019

I have been using Quick Books for several years, it was working for me. The 2019 with new features takes some getting used to and figuring out the bugs and out to fix them. I have been using 2019 for almost three months now and it is working great for me

Fast shipping!

The only thing I have to say is it would have been helpful if somewhere it told you to remove your old version before installing this one. In the end it all worked out ok and I’m very satisfied.
