Using Quicken in the United Kingdom

Aug 23, 2010 2 Replies

Intuit withdrew Quicken from the United Kingdom market in 2004 and, as farewell gesture, left UK users a final UK Pound Sterling (GBP) version that I have happily used for the last six years. It works flawlessly under Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode, and still does everything I need. I am content with the 2004 version except for the slight anxiety that using unsupported software is risky and might die on me one day.



I am wondering whether there are UK users who have updated to later (US) versions and have been happy with the outcome? Does the US version deal with UK bond transactions and currency conversions comfortably? If not what solutions have they adopted?



If Quicken was available for free trial I could find out for myself, but it does not seem to be.

You can pick up a back copy of Q. cheaply on line to try out. Amazon.com is a good place to try.

I'm in the UK and very happily use Quicken 2008 Home & Business on Win 7 64 bit. The currency can be set to sterling. However I don't use bond transactions so can't say anything about that.

I got 2008 H & B very cheaply on ebay and tested it in a virtual mode to see that I could make it work - suggest you could do the same??
