This article serves as a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource regarding the discontinuation notice for customers of Rightworks Transaction Pro for QuickBooks Desktop using versions 6 and 7. 

 

Q: Why is Rightworks discontinuing Versions 6 and 7? 

A: The decision to end discontinue versions 6 and 7 is driven by our commitment to delivering a more innovative and enhanced experience with Rightworks Transaction Pro.  

As technology advances, it becomes necessary to discontinue support for older versions and focus our resources on improving the current version. Many of our customers have already successfully upgraded to Version 8 and are leveraging the latest time-saving convenience features and ongoing updates.  

 

Q: Will I be able to access or install version 6 or 7 of Transaction Pro after the discontinuation date? 

A: Unfortunately, no. After January 31, access to these versions will be discontinued, and you won't be able to use Transaction Pro without upgrading. We highly recommend upgrading to Version 8 as soon as possible to avoid any disruption. 

 

Q: What are the benefits of Version 8 and why should I upgrade? 

A: Great question!
