Does this program have Gotchas similar to Quicken's 3-year limit where one has to buy their latest joke "Upgrade" to keep it working ??

There is an annual fee for support. That includes any upgrades to the software, but it also means you can ask any questions you have by e-mail or by phone, and you will get a prompt and helpful reply. (I see they now have online chat support, but I have never used that.) The cost last time was $45. But this is not "Gotcha," because they are up front about it. If you do not update, the program will still work. (I am still using Quicken Basic 2002, by the way! But only for tracking expenses, not for investments. I will have to buy a new version if and when I need to use Quicken on a 64-bit system.) I have found the annual fee well worth it.

no it does not - and it is the worst version intuit/quicken has ever come up with - buyer beware

It's starts right away. So instead of the standard 1 year you have 3 years. Honestly I thought it was a good deal. The reason I bought it was because it was for a small laptop for my mother-in-law who had never used a computer before. She is 77 and I just didn't want her to worry about anything. It is much cheaper than using Beat Buy. They live in the country so do not have much IT help available near them.

Yes, but I've not used it. I've bought it for roughly 5 or 6 years. It's had it's ups & down operations-wise, but the support group is helpful and free. (Obviously busy busy during tax season.) Hard to beat for the price and allows you to reload info. from payers/vendors/employees each subsequent year; so it can be habit forming depending on how many entries you've previously loaded. Here's their contact info.:866-483-8131, support@custsupp.com, ComplyRight, Inc.,3451 Jupiteer Ct., Oxnard, CA 93030. Good hunting.

I don't think they sell a version that does over 3 employees, you have to call quickbooks and buy the upgrade.

I haven't. I was forced (at gunpoint) in upgrading to 2013 since my old version would no longer update my 401K information from Hewlett.

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

Yes it does and worked very well BUT quicken will no longer suport downloading from your checking accounts. They forced me to buy 2014 and I hate it.

Hi Kristina, in the listing on Amazon, it says you can "stack" up to 3 years of Live membership.

I had the same question. In a Quicken chat with a representative I was quaranteed that I lose none of the 2007 Deluxe investment tools if I purchase 2010 Deluxe version.

Yes, it is very easy. Just put the disk in and follow instructions. I saved mine just before starting as insurance so I would not loose anything if I did something dumb. I have been a Quicken user for over 20 years and the 2014 version is the first time I have been disappointed. I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 inch because I travel a lot. My old 2011 version worked wonderful with the size of my computer. The 2014 version works and transferred easily; however, I had to purchase a pair of readers to see parts of what is on the computer, while the rest is so large you cannot see it on one screen even by extending the size. If I did not need it for investments, I would go back to old version. If you wonder where the search bar is, its the tiny oval at top right. When entering a check, the transaction description is completely altered. You just have to scroll through volumes of data to find what your looking for and put it in your memory bank in order to find it again. Everything I have had since 1 January 1990 when I moved to Quicken is still there, just a little hard to find sometimes. I hope this helps. I just have nasty thoughts about a company and their programmers have to mess something up that is working just fine. If you need more help, feel free to contact me again. Linda

Even if it is, you don't want to buy it - you need to download from QB to get any support at all from QB. In addition - this is NOT the QB program you may be familiar with - it is a shell of the program and completely worthless. It will allow you to make about 10 invoices. Then you will have to pay the $200 to upgrade. Find the program that you will need and skip this worthless waste of money. Is it compatible - possibly. If it isn't you will not be able to get any support to fix it.

Yes, the same thing happened to me. I called the H&R Block Help Center to report the problem. It looks to me like the workaround is simply to tell the system that your contribution limit is higher -- which in fact it is.

Not for the first 12 months after purchase...after that there is a fee (maybe $50/year)...but make sure it works as advertised before entering into the second year. My does not so at the end of my free 12 months, it's gone. Of course I'm out the initial purchase price. :(

It does! I used this program back in 84 and wanted it now, I have problems with it now because it is not what it used to be.......too high tech for me, I even purchased the 1-2-3 for dummies. please let me know how you do with it, Ted

I believe I have found the issue and it has nothing to do with my system but is actually a real bug in the software itself. First I installed on a clean (no third party apps whatsoever) virtual PC running XP, same crash. I was however able to isolate the issue down to a single account (a credit card with one of the big 5 banks), when I created a new quicken file with just this one account it would crash, when I removed this account from my 'main' file it worked fine with the remaining accounts. After thinking about what could be different about this account I remembered I have a very long password (32 characters) on this account; I changed the password to something shorter and now it works. The only reason I went to this effort is, as stated, Quicken is the now unfortunately only game in town - not that I have anything against Intuit but competition is always a good thing for the consumer - and while MS Money wasn't perfect, my track record was only a few (single digit number of) crashes in over 10 years of use - the last version I used (2007) did have one really annoying bug where it miscalculated my mortgage payment so every month I would have to manually correct the number. I really do want to use Quicken, as the spreadsheet alternative isn't worth the effort; I'm just really concerned that they don't invest enough in test and validation - while a boundary condition, a check for this particular bug should have been in any reasonable test plan.

Yes 3 month of free trial, after that you have to pay. No they will not withdraw money from you. You have to tell them your self that you wish to continue with the updates. Hope this helps.
