Default Re: Forced to Upgrade!

They accidentally "expired" a bunch of M06/7 earlier this week. Try starting
Money several more times. Each time let it run until it gets its own
updates.

That I don't know, unless you upgraded to an older version, like
2006 Standard. I just upgraded to Money Plus Premium and it said
that my subscription to online updates would be two years after
the date I activated it or sometime in 2010, whichever came
first. If you upgraded to one that had a "or sometime in 2007,
whichever comes first" it wouldn't matter if you installed it
yesterday.

If you have a newer version and really think this is a problem,
you could contact MS, but unfortunately, their error reporting
mechanism for Money on the support.microsoft.com site has been
down for at least a week and half, or at least it has for Money
Plus. I've been trying to report a problem since installing Money
Plus.

I upgraded less then a year ago, but I am also being forced to upgrade to
continue getting on line services. Why?

No, the updating function is a service that you buy with the
software and it is good for 2-3 years after you install it,
depending on the version. I think the high end version gets 3
years and the lower end versions get 2.

You agreed to that when you pressed "Ok" on the EULA.

It is a way for MS to get users to move to new versions so their
servers only have to deal with maybe 3-4 versions at once instead
of worrying about how Money 95, 97 and other old versions work
differently.

Quicken does the same thing if I recall correctly.

Please tell us your data migration strategy.

Oh, and Quicken enforces time limits on online services as well. If they
didn't do it, Money wouldn't do it.
