…whether you renew your subscription or not, you'll always have full access to and ownership of your data. Quicken's subscription is backed by something they call the Data Access Guarantee, which insures you'll always be able to access your financial data. (Though I believe Office will run in view-only mode.)īut that's not how Quicken's subscription works. Stop subscribing, and you can't use the apps any more. In a modern software subscription plan, as with Microsoft's Office 365 or Adobe's Creative Cloud, you only have rights to use the software while your subscription is active.
However, to profit, you need to provide things people want, so New Quicken should be focused on providing excellent apps. It's good that they're out from under Intuit's lack of interest in the Mac app, but it's possibly bad in that an investment group only buys a company for one reason: To later sell it at a big profit.
Note: For those who aren't aware, Quicken is no longer owned by Intuit they were bought by an investment bank.
