![]() When I switched to Mac some time ago, I was very disappointed that there was only one version of Quicken which was outdated, de-contented, and almost three times as expensive as the Windows version! I grit my teeth and bought it. I used Quicken for Windows for many, many years and occasionally upgraded to the latest version for about $30 by choice ( never because I had to due to compatibility issues with newer versions of Windows). This is also why I away maintain backup copies of the data and application so if an upgrade fills I can revert back especially with Quicken and QuickBooks since it many times converts the data to a new format. I never update my mac without first verifying all my software works with the new version and the same goes for any application I have bought, I first check to see if people are reporting problems to make sure it is not going to cause me a problem. ![]() I held off going to OSX 10.8 because apple got ride of Rosetta and quicken 2007 would not work, then Intuit release and update to run on machine that did not support Rosetta. Now we have to decide whether to upgrade the mac software, personally, I have held off on mac upgrade so I did not have to upgrade other software. I use Quicken (personal stuff) and QuickBooks (my sons Business stuff) and we use the old versions since they work for us. I personal never like the cloud based services, because you have to take the good with the bad whether you like it not. Plus they can make updates which you may or may not like. Welcome to the new world of software, you no longer own the software and they want you online so they can have access to your data and make you pay for the privilege. While we can easily afford the upgrade, the cash grab every two years is really annoying. Can't switch programs as our accounting firm only supports Quickbooks. ![]() We are a small company and make use of maybe 5% of the programs features and the ones we use are never improved. Greedy software companies with their subscriptions piss me offI just found out a few days ago that we have to upgrade to have it continue to be supported on Sierra. ![]() ![]() They want people to switch to Quickbooks online which cost 3x more in the long run How the hell can you support software for only TWO YEARS. Quickbooks 2014 on Mac is not supported on Mac Sierra. ![]()
