Thanks for that licensing info. I find mandatory "phone home" connections
unacceptable for retail software, especially personal finance software.
Guess it's back to Money 2004.

I'm sure it has to do wtih this exerpt from their licensing agreement
"Microsoft may periodically check for software updates for the service
(including security updates, service packs, and newer versions) and
install them automatically. You agree to allow these automatic software
updates. You also agree to receive targeted advertisements and periodic
member e-mail messages.", which is why I did not upgrade and am looking
at alternatives ...

Default Money 2006 & Firewall Alerts

Unlike Money 2004, the new retail version insists on trying to connect to
Microsoft every time it's started. I don't use any of the Money online
features & have turned off all possible related options. Yet my
application firewall reports 6-8 connection attempts at every Money start
up.
