Once my 2011 version is sunset I suspect I go back to that process. It's a somewhat convoluted process, but I didn't download data that often, so it didn't bother me that much. If you do it this way it doesn't check with the financial institution to see if your downloading ability has been sunset. Use the macros to convert the data into a QIF file.Load it into an OpenOffice spreadsheet.Download the data from the financial institution in CSV format.Before I upgraded to 2011, I was using some software macros to create QIF files that could be imported into Quicken. I recently upgraded from Quicken 2002 to Quicken 2011. Some of the alternative programs can handle importing small amounts of Quicken data, but when you try to import a large file of 15 years, they completely barf on it. We don't want to abandon that data and it's nearly impossible to import large amounts of Quicken data into another program. The problem is for those of us who have large amounts of data in Quicken, such as 15 years for myself.

But apparently thats not the way Intuit thinks. They take your already purchased software and then try to get an extra $5 selling you a new version.Īs an existing customer, I would expect a new version at a better discount than a new customer (30 - 50%). If you google Quicken Canada Coupon, you will easily find that intuit is selling their software for 20% off. This email included a link to 10% off, for being a valued customer.

Selling software and subversively turning it off when you feel the need is just wrong.Īs for the main reason I am posting.

There is legal and there is the right thing to do. Now before some smart ass quotes the Intuit TOS agreement. Seems like the sunsets are happening more often as Intuit tries to make some more money off existing customers. Today I received a notice that my copy of Quicken 2009 will now be crippled. While I was not happy about my software being essentually turned off, I upgraded. The email that was sent offered a 20% discount. You will no longer be able to download online transactions. Seem like just yesterday that my Quicken 2005 software was crippled due to Intuits sunset policy.
