It effectively becomes a read-only snapshot of your data as of the date of expiration. This breaks the trust between Quicken and its user base.īy subscribing to this new model you also consent to this new extortion racket. When you upgrade to 2017 your data gets converted.
WHEN DOES QUICKEN 2017 EXPIRE UPDATE
So in 2018 you can't go back to an earlier version like 2016 or 2015 and manually update your data. Think long and hard before you pull the trigger on Q2017. I bet many people won't read the fine print and will be nailed by this extortion. Given the three year sunset rule that Quicken imposes for downloading transactions, it certainly looks like they've rigged the window to benefit themselves and harm their user base. Completely unacceptable doesn't fully express my frustration with this approach. I wonder if the user base can have any influence on getting this egregious change reversed? We need to make ourselves heard.
WHEN DOES QUICKEN 2017 EXPIRE MANUAL
While you can continue to access your data and run reports, you'll no longer be able to download transactions, or add manual transactions. They have tripled the ongoing cost since the price is about the same but it's an annual subscription fee instead of a download you can use for 3 years (if you want to continue to d/l bank transactions). I enter all my own transactions, and only d/l transactions to verify with my own register entries. And it says you need at least Premier to track investments with the following features that Deluxe does not have: I don't see a $89.99 online price, but maybe it's discounted? I see Starter for $39.99, Deluxe for $79.99, Premier for $109.99 and Home & Business for $119.99. I have 25 years of data in Quicken and my 2014 edition will probably expire this year.
The main thing I will miss is one-step update to keep stock prices up-to-date, but doubt if I will upgrade. Surprisingly, the USA "Premier" version is currently discounted by 40%! (US$65.99). I've been a user in 1991, won't be paying for the new version. #WHEN DOES QUICKEN 2017 EXPIRE UPDATE#Īssuming I can still do it after April of this year, I will just enter my investment transactions manually, and update stock/etf/MF prices when I can. I can live without knowing every transaction in my chequing or credit card accounts.
