Two year limit for online sync

Hmm..., too bad I upgraded to 2003 Standard last year after AmEx stopped
supprting M00. Will see how long this one lasts.

Apparently, recent versions (M03 and newer?) enforce these as hard limits.
Or so it has been reported here.

Up to June 2004, I was using Money 2000 Basic to download transactions from
banks and credit cards just fine. I think the 2-year service limit is just
that Microsoft won't guarantee it will still work after the 2-year window.
If your bank keeps feeding data in the same format, I don't think an old
version of Money would automatically stop working.

Quicken has discontinued online services and also support for 2001 and 2002
users and is asking those users to upgrade.

That's nothing new. M2004 similarly times out. Can't remember about 2003.

If you haven't checked the "Internet-based Services Policy" you should.
Go to Help> About Microsoft Money> Internet-based Services Policy.
There is a two year limit for internet sync > If you don't "upgrade" to a
newer version (2006, 2007, etc.) within two years of installation of Money
2005 you lose sync ability with all those credit card accounts not available
in Money 2004.
That's despicable! Built-in obsolescence! This alone is worth a class action
suit.
Why did I waste my time with Money 2005? I should have heeded the warnings
posted in this newsgroup.
I am disgusted with microshaft. Eventhough I have been using Money since
1997 version, I am switching to something other than Money and never coming
back.
