QODBC licensing is not upward compatible only backwards, meaning you would need a QODBC License for 2014 to work with QuickBooks 2014. When a new version of QuickBooks is released, we have to add the new version features that QuickBooks makes available to us such as new data tables, fields and any new reports included in the new edition. We also need to insure that all of the previous features and functionality that we made available in the past still work, along with any new functionality we add to QODBC such as the QRemote feature. The Read Only Desktop edition of QODBC is included with QuickBooks Enterprise Edition 14.
We have the read write edition of the software.
I would like to inform you that QODBC licensing is not upward compatible only backwards, meaning you would need QODBC License for 2014 to work with QuickBooks 2014. Version 14 of the driver will work with all editions of QuickBooks 2002- 2014 Pro and Higher. The Read Only version of QODBC is included with QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 14.
So you need to purchase/upgrade QODBC License 2014 to work with QuickBooks 2014.
I kindly request you to get in touch with our sales team : http://www.qodbc.com/contact.htm
I would like to inform you that once you upgrade QuickBooks to newer version then you also need to upgrade QODBC license to write/update operation. QODBC is licensing is not upward compatible only backwards means you can read/write in QuickBooks version for which you having license or backward version of it. For example if you have QODBC license for 2013 to work with QuickBooks 2013. Version 13 of the driver will work with all editions of QuickBooks 2002- 2013 Pro and Higher. To work with QuickBooks 2014 either you need to upgrade your QODBC license or you can use your current QODBC license as a Read only for QuickBooks 2014.
