TechMate TipsNeat Desktop Software v5.7.1 Download
Recently I had to reinstall a scanner for a client and as usual, they couldn’t find the original disk. I went to the Neat site where I have been able to get the software before with no problems, and lo and behold, they no longer let you download the software that came with your device! Instead, you are forced into paying a monthly subscription now which is crazy since the device was already bought with the necessary software inside that requires no subscription. Luckily, I was able to get a copy from a friend who still had a download of the final version they released on their site. If you are in need of this software, here is a self hosted link:

Neat Desktop Scanner Software v5.7.1 Full
Before you install this, disconnect from the internet as some people have had an issue where when connected, will trigger a prompt for a subscription. I would stay disconnected during the initial setup when opening the software also. I have updated the link as some people had an issue downloading it.
Any additional issues, refer to this patch as it will remove the built in internet connection requirement and make sure its compatible with Windows 10: https://github.com/kevingigiano/neat-legacy
Thank you worked perfectly and saved my bacon!
Thanks once again for the save. My computer displayed the black screen of death and I had to reinstall the OS. Years ago this happened without having a Neat .nbak file so fortunately I’ve been creating a .nbak monthly. But, without the .exe there isn’t any way to see the database. I was able to load Neat from your link. I suppose I should find another software program as this has happened to me twice now (2016 and 2021). I will probably start looking. I absolutely don’t want to loose this db. Thanks again. Donation sent.
Wow, works like a charm. I paid like $450 for this scanner/software, and
couldn’t reinstall in to my computer after upgrading. Donation send.
Thanks for the download. Upgraded computer and old software would not install. This download worked! I did have to enter my Neat email and password, but I had previously registered when I purchased the scanner.
The Neat Scan “Utility” leaves much to be desired.
Thank you. Even with the original disc you will have trouble.
It was wanting me to connect to the interwebs even with wifi off.
There is a patch I found: https://github.com/kevingigiano/neat-legacy
Thanks guys
Someone has made a great tool that de-gunks Neat from its awful attempts to ex-post-facto timebomb its own software:

As a potential role model, I advocate its use. Legal: I don’t actually advocate using anything.
sent you 5 bucks .. thanks a lot for hosting this file. Saved me a lot of trouble
Thank you we had a system crash and the owner could not find their software. This was a big help!!!!
I’m here 2 years later to say thank you for having this link and I will definitely donate!
Thank you so much!! I had to replace my hard drive and the carbonite and one drive replaced so much but it would not back up my Neat Receipts software. I have donated as you have solved a great dilemma!!
Sorry if this pops up twice, don’t think my original reply worked. I had the same issue exactly. Reinstalled software, wouldn’t recognize the .nwdb files. When the software loads the first time, it creates a new database that the program will not allow to be written over, so you export that empty database out. Then you HAVE TO close the program or this will not work. Find your old .nwdb files and drag and drop the cabinet file directly onto your desktop neat software shortcut icon. It will open the program and your files will be restored. Took me two days of scouring the internet to find this, but it works! It’s also recommended to make a copy of the old files first, just in case they get damaged or corrupted when you try to restore them.
You’re a life saver. *with tears running down both cheeks*
Thanks for the help
Thank you! I have downloaded the link and put it on a thumb drive in a safe place. My computer went down and I lost the install software. I battled Neat about this and they put the stand alone version of neat on my computer. I unsubscribed to the online version and received a full refund. I do not like my finances etc. in the cloud. Plus I felt that I had been taken advantage of. I am sending $10 by PayPal.
I have just donated to your site and thanks much for having this available. I had to reset my computer and as such my neat software was deleted and I did not have the install disk and as you know Near only has the subscription option available now. Which I refused to pay for since I was not using prior to my computer reset. In my opinion this is a bad business model for them as when my neat scanner stops working I will not renew with neat I will find a different option to scan my receipts etc.
