Important Note

QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant 2021 is an older version of the software. Some connected functions such as online services, payments, payroll, banking, official support, updates, or integrations may be limited, discontinued, or depend on account, region, license, and manufacturer availability.

This program should be used with knowledge of accounting, taxes, chart of accounts, invoicing, reconciliations, inventory, financial reports, and local regulations. It does not replace the judgment of a qualified accountant, auditor, or tax advisor.

For business use, it is recommended to perform frequent backups, validate accounting information, review taxes, correctly configure accounts, permissions, users, currencies, inventory, and reports before using it in real operations.

Differences between alternate license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly understands what type of license they are acquiring and what features they can expect based on the chosen option.

Alternate license: This is a non-original, one-time payment license without monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to record accounting operations, manage customers, vendors, sales, purchases, inventory, reports, company files, and backups from the computer where it is installed. It does not include official updates, full online services, official Intuit support, official payroll, integrated payments, connected banking, corporate licenses, ProAdvisor benefits, or full linkage with personal or business accounts of the manufacturer. Linking accounts, manually updating, modifying program files, or attempting to activate online services may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.

Original license: This is the official manufacturer's option. It includes access to full features according to the contracted edition, official account, formal licensing, available updates, official support, current connected services, and license benefits where applicable. Its cost is usually higher and it may operate under a subscription, enterprise license, annual plan, accountant's license, per-user license, additional services, or a modality defined by Intuit.

For business, corporate, governmental, accounting, financial, academic, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, traceability, operational continuity, and higher demanding professional needs.

Note: These licenses are tied to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
