Upgrade from Quicken 2012 to Quicken 2015

FWIW: My suggestion for when to purchase any new version is to wait

This is probably good advice for someone who upgrades every year or two. It can also be a little difficult to return/downgrade if quicken has converted your file for use with to the latest version.

However, I'm still on Q2012. I had considered going to Q2014 but it sounded like it had more issues than I wanted to deal with.

Since Q2012 is going to sunset on April 30th 2015 I plan to upgrade to Q2015 sooner rather than later. I don't really have the option of returning it since I'm pretty well stuck with Quicken (with no plans to go to any sort of online version).

My hope is that if there are any new bugs (which somehow seems to always be the case) I can get some attention at Intuit before the final releases.

One question for those who have already tried Q2015:

- Is the online quicken.com account still necessary to use newer versions of Quicken? Did anyone ever figure out what that was being used for? I don't think that Intuit needs that information and I don't want them to try to use that to leverage me into using their online service. (call me paranoid if you want).

Still watching for useful information from people who have actually upgraded.

Thanks, Stuart Barkley

The use of Quicken.com has never been required. What you may be thinking of is the use of the Intuit ID, which was 1st implemented for Q2014.

Yes, that it still required, in Q2015, for any online access including program updates ... and it's HIGHLY unlikely that such is going to be discontinued anytime in the near future.

I believe you can still download new releases from the web site without using an Intuit ID, and apply the downloaded patch file manually.
