Version 2026.2.0 release notes
We released version 2026.2.0 on June 25, 2026 with the following changes.
General
We updated the following items to provide additional support of SQL Server 2025:
- The database updater process, which occurs when first opening the database on a new application version, now applies the SQL Server 2025 compatibility level when the database is hosted on a SQL Server 2025 instance.
- The SQL Server Express size-limit warning message now reflects the increased 50 GB maximum database size in SQL Server 2025 Express, which is up from the maximum database size of 10 GB in earlier versions.

However, firm staff and client staff on local machines where QuickBooks Desktop and the CS QuickBooks Data Utility are installed will need to make sure they have the latest version of the CS QuickBooks Data Utility installed.
