That's two to four times the cost per year that I was paying before.
But what happens next year? Presumably, the automatic renewal will be at $79.99/year or more, which is the MSRP. Now, the best deal I see (as of today) for Quicken Premiere is two years for $119 (on the Quicken website) or fourteen months for $44.99 on Amazon. It's not quite correct to say "nothing has changed." In the past, I'd upgrade every three years for around $70. Now, if you want to argue the pricing of the subscription.or the horrible product it's become introducing really bad bugs with each and every upgrade.or that they place a horrific subscription renewal reminder pane that takes up 1/4 of your screen space if your subscription expires.then I can hop on board with that. I'm not much of a Quicken supporter, although I use both Windows and Mac products.but the argument that Quicken has changed their business model by doing something nefarious by "all of a sudden" terminating downloads is nothing new whatsoever. Quicken has had that for at least ten years (maybe more).and the same complaints happen with every year version that had downloads expire, usually around 3 1/2 years. I never understand those complaining about the termination of online/downloading services.
Therefore, in reality, nothing has changed EXCEPT the term of the termination is now shorter (anywhere from 12 to 27 months depending on where you purchase the subscription) and the price.
Quicken 2017 for windows 10 look update#
and in order to continue downloading you'd need to update your Quicken product. Under the "older" model (pre-subscription), your ability to download or import transactions for Quicken 2017 would have expired anyways on April 30, 2020.
