So long QuickBooks 2011:(


http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/INF12842

After May 31, 2014, access to add-on services will be discontinued for QuickBooks 2011 Desktop (Windows and Mac).  This includes all versions of QuickBooks 2011 (Pro, Premier, Enterprise Solutions, Accountant Edition, and Mac).  
Add-on services are:
QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 11
This also means that Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks, will discontinue support for all 2011 products.
What does this mean?
QuickBooks 2011 will not spontaneously combust on May 31st.  It will still function the way that it did on May 30th.  This just means that if you have software troubles with this version, Intuit will not support it and will not allow you to access any add-on services.
What should you do?
Well, it really depends on your situation.  If you are a solo entrepreneur, with only a handful of transactions each month and you are not accessing any add-ons, then you may consider rolling the dice and keeping your existing version of QuickBooks (always make sure you are backing up your database).  
However, if you are using any add-on services or entering into QuickBooks daily it is time to bite the bullet and upgrade.
