Pay it or lose it

In CANADA, the parent or legal guardian CANNOT be held responsible for the debts of a minor child, UNLESS it involves NECESSITIES of life, e.g. basic food, clothing, etc.. Even though minor children may think otherwise, NO software readily available to minors could be deemed a necessity of life.

Further to your comment, just because a person is forced to click on an EULA, does NOT automatically mean that the CONTENTS of the EULA are valid. Writers of EULAs do NOT have carte blanche to put ANYTHING they want into an EULA. It has to be LEGAL and REASONABLE.

EXACTLY. Frankly, I have never, ever in the 24 years I have been on the net, fully read an EULA. I don't give a flying ph*** WHAT it contains. If a software manufacturer wants to sue me, BRING IT ON.

John, you know as well as I do: one can ALWAYS find a lawyer who will mirror one's own opinion. Quicken's

owners may have the high-priced legal beagles, HOWEVER, the court of public opinion will get them in the end,

if they pull any funny business. They would be slammed across the net. Look what is happening to United Airlines.

No matter how many high-priced lawyers they have, THEY. ARE. PH*****.

Well, all folks, let's just see what ultimately transpires. All of this (including my comments) are informational and conjecture in many cases, and might not have any real world bearing on what Quicken Inc. does with their product anyway.

of locking data. I would rather run an old working version in a virtual mac hine in manual mode than subject myself to the risk of losing the ability t o manage my data simply because I choose to not pay a subscription.

Mint servers last week, access to ones Quicken data is vulnerable to more than just Quicken preventing it. There are the problems of Quicken disappea ring but also other services that Quicken relies on.

rantee that I have access whenever and however I want. I spent far too many years accumulating and massaging them to get where I dependent on that dat a. Like I have shared in the Quicken Get Sat forums, all the same financial viability can still be achieved WITHOUT locking users out of their data. T hat is the #1 issue for me, though there are a few others too, as I summari ze in my post here:

It appears users of lapsed subscriptions will have the ability to use the p roduct without online services and support (essentially one-year instead of the current three-year model):
