Default Re: Canadian Trial Version?

This may have applied at the time of writing, but it certainly doesn't now.
After browsing the Canadian Money site, and learning that the current "Money
Essentials" doesn't support data from any previous version of Microsoft
Money, and browsing the US site to learn "These products are available to
U.S. customers only" it would appear that Microsoft has abandoned Canadian
users.

I'm off to Intuit; ciao!

Money 2007 has been unified for US and Canada. You should be able to
use the trial. If you are already using an earlier version, I
suggest that you download the free 90 day trial and use both in
parallel.

Copy your current Money file to a different name, such
as Money07.mny, and let Money 2007 convert that copy. Stay alert
during install to make sure the trial does not uninstall your Money
version. Expect a radio button where you will need to change from
the default. You should be able to run both versions, one at a
time.

If you decide to stay with the older version of Money, after trying
2007, I suggest you do not uninstall the trial. Otherwise you will
have to reinstall the older version, and perhaps there could be a
glitch there. That file association thing is the thing that routes
a QIF or OFX to the given version of Money when you click on such a
file.

Default Canadian Trial Version?

Is there a version of the Microsoft Money trial for Canadians? The download
page for the trial on the Microsoft website says that it is for US customers
only.

(If there isn't - why not?)

Thanks for your time,
Eric
