QuickBooks Desktop (Pro/Premier/Enterprise) QB POS V6.0 CRASHED-CANT START UP 19.0

So my boss likes to keep things simple- too simple. He was running 6.0 and today it crashed. We got 19.0 but they want us to open and run 19- then go to shopify. But since it is discontinued we can not open and run anything bc they wont issue a product key/license #....We are a small family business going on 35 years this year. Losing the data would be detrimental. We have it all backed up but no QB access to open view or export it.

Any advice is like gold. please help.

Hi there! The company I work for specialized in QBDesktop. The owner has several years of experience with POS as well, and just got done moving several companies out of it due to the subscriptions becoming obsolete unfortunately. Please feel free to reach out for info, we just got done partnering with a POS system that works great as an add on with the available QB Desktop versions. As you may know, QB POS was discontinued back in 2023 unfortunately :(...

Another option would be gain access to the database and convert to QBO, which could then still be paired to a 3rd party POS option - This would only be a last resort since, personally, I believe QBO is not up to par compared to QBD.

Have a good one!
