Drop back to 2006 Premier or Delux

I am presently running on Quicken H&B 2003. I no longer do any business transactions. Been out or business for two years and am retired now. Do I need to maintain Quicken Home and Business if I go to the 2006 version? Or can I just drop back to Premier or Deluxe for the functions I need for now going forward? Any thing I should be aware of by dropping back that might be a problem? I assume I would not be able to call up any of my old invoices, etc which is okay.

Of the two versions Premier or Deluxe, which version would you suggest?

TIA.

If you don't have any H&B accounts in your file you should have no trouble in downgrading to Premier or Deluxe. You may just want to delete all the old accounts, invoices etc. before you attempt the conversion.

I've heard that even if you don't delete the old accounts it works, but there was a quirk with displaying/handling the H&B specific features - what I don't recall.

You could always get Deluxe or premier, test with it and if you don't like the results, you can unlock the H&B on the same CD for the upgrade fee ($20 from Premier, I think).

Don't know how much this helps but I run QW06 Dlx on my PC and tinker with QW06 Basic on a LT. Basic opens the Dlx file just fine.

401k accounts in Dlx become tax-deferred brokerage accounts in Basic. Basic does not include the file attachment feature and seems to just ignore them - no problems as far as operations go. Do get a nag screen as Basic recognizes the Dlx file set and wants me to go online and 'unlock' the Dlx version.

Bottom line - files seem to be 'downward' compatible for the common features.
