 Sunset policy bad one for Quicken February 7, 2006
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Like others we have received notice that Quicken 2003 online function will be "Sunset" in April. Poor policy again by Quicken. What this means is if you purchase this product you have purchased key functions for only 3 years (currently but Quicken is allowed to arbitrarily lower this if they need to raise more cash). Frankly the improvements in their new function set do not warrant the additional cost. This is a money grab, plain, pure, and simple. Competitiors, do you hear? Opportunity knocks!

After i ordered the product from Quicken I found a friend who already had it and after looking at his found it to be way to complex for my needs. 1 star is incorrect as didn't open the psckage.
Another bad decision from Intuit January 30, 2006

There is one and only one honest way to get money from customers -- provide value. Intuit must not think it's doing that, because it sneaks around for its money, disabling features after they were purchased to force users to upgrade. It's not the first time they've annoyed their customer base with cheap tricks.
Previously, Intuit brought out a version of turbotax that couldn't be moved from one machine to another, so if you upgraded your computer between the time you installed the software and you filed taxes, or if you had a hard-disk crash, you'd be forced to plead with Intuit for an updated license key. Like this 'sunset' policy, I don't recall that it was revealed to users anywhere on the product packaging.
There was an outcry and Intuit did not repeat their copy-protection policy. Unfortunately, their attitude hasn't changed. I have an older version of Quicken, I like it, and I'd like to keep on using it just the way it is. If my bank is willing to support the old file formats, why should I have to upgrade?
 Quicken 2006 Review January 29, 2006

I've used Quicken for years and I really love the functionality of it. I have found that through the years I don't use all of the available fucntions but could if I wanted. I decided this time to just stick with the Basic version. Al in all a great product...but I would expect no less.
Stupid policy January 25, 2006

I have Quicken 2003. I just received a letter in the mail saying that I will not be able to download transactions from banks etc. because of the Intuit Sunset Policy. The Sunset Policy means that Quicken stops allowing downloads after 3 years of use. It seems ridiculous that you can't use an important piece of your software after 3 years. That would be like Microsoft discontinuing networking and the ability to write to disk after 3 years of use.
Stupid policy
