![]() The other change is the pricing structure. No more having to support three different year versions along two different OS platforms. ![]() And most importantly, as of today, Quicken is only supporting Quicken Windows and Quicken Mac and their subsets (Starter, Deluxe, Premier and Home/Business). It also allows for gradual improvements and bug fixes throughout your subscription time frame. This allows Quicken to NOT have to have a deadline for a NEW AND IMPROVED Quicken with new features that HAD to be released by that September date. So, there's now a rolling termination date depending on the user install, instead of April 30. The only thing that has changed is that the termination of online services now ends 12, 14, 24 or 27 months from activation of the product (or download of the product if purchased directly from Quicken), depending on the subscription offered and what you purchased. There is no requirement that any part of Quicken has to be in the Cloud or on Quicken's servers or has to be web based, if you don't want it to. ![]() Quicken 2017, as planned and stated, expired April 30, 2020. Thus, Quicken 2015 expired April 30, 2018. Why? Because your ability to download transactions and security prices and all other online services ended about 3+ years from the year version you purchased. They just never called it a subscription.but it was. Quicken has ALWAYS been subscription based. I recommended Quicken to hundreds of people in the 90s and 00's, but after these shenanigans, I won't any longer. ![]() I will not pay Quicken for a "subscription model" and possibly lose access to my data down the road. With the latest blackmail from Quicken (upgrade to a subscription model or lose access to your auto-reconcile bank data), I have said "no more".ĭoes anyone have any recommendations on products (windows or linux) to replace Quicken 2017 that has the same functionality? Or - possibility an OpenSource programme that gathers the QIF files from my multiple banks info one QIF for file import into Quicken 2017? 5 being the best, I was at a "4" with Quicken 2017, but absolutely refuse to move to a "subscription model" where Quicken holds the keys to my finances. I've suffered through the upgrades (forced and otherwise) and the massive bugs that they would blame on the user. I have used Quicken since the beginning when it was a DOS-based programme when the world didn't even have "internet access".
