Quicken - Download Transaction Expiration Period??

Yea, we are guessing 3 years. MS offers 2. You could always do what the other skinflints do and download CSV quotes from Yahoo. That way you don't have to feel "forced".

Thanks. That may just be my course of action..

Asie from the ability to download transactions, Quicken is 'good' as long as you have a computer that will run it.

If you mean how long will you be able to do one step online downloads, Intuit it moving towards an annual subscription model, but right now its about 3 years.

Really? And you know this how?

Intuit currently charges banks for providing transaction downloads now.

Inuit and both Microsoft charge money to banks for the software used to drive both 1 setup downloads and QIF. Web Connect and OFX downloads. Why would you think Inuit or Microsoft would give away there server software for free?

Inuit and Microsoft have charged banks and CU from day one for the server software. The only differnce is Inuit has discontinued support for QIF and moved to support only Direct Connect and Web Connect in there software thus forcing companies to upgrade to there newest server platform which is only licenesed on a yearly fee as opposed to there old server which were sold as is just like you would buy a copy of MS Office or MS Windows which does not require you to buy a new upgrade every year but only when you want to upgrade. Inuit now sells there server software as a yearly subscriptions to banks which is why many credit unions are upset. MS sells there server software like they always have and allow banks and CU to purchases an upgrade only if they choose. While with Inuit you now leasing there server software in effect which has many banks and CU upset.
