I read this in the Plus online manual. Clarification?

And they don't take your favorite feature away because they decided "most
users" (whoever they are) preferred it this way. Or because it was so broken
that removing it was cheaper than fixing it.

And you know how to find your favorite features without re-learning.

I have even seen people say they would not mind paying the "upgrade
fee"/"subscription cost" to keep running the same version. At least we know
the bugs/features within the current version.

Too bad they haven't actually upgraded much of anything in six years or
so...

Thanks Carl:

I see...

And price of this "subscription" I assume is the cost of the upgraded
software version whatever that is?

Oh well. I guess the the cost of an upgrade every two years or so is not all
that bad. :-)

Yes.

After expiration you can still enter the data by hand (keyboard).
You can access info that is there and you can still make reports.
You can't download quotes from the MS quote servers, and you
probably won't even be able to download statements from your bank's
website.

You could say that. Microsoft sees it as kind of a subscription
model.

Hi all:

I read the following in the Plus on-line manual (under the using Money
Online section).

"Online services are available for two (2) years after activation, or Jan.
31, 2011, whichever is earlier."

What does this actually mean?

Does Money just stop allowing me to access my banking information (download
statememnt and my banking institutions's billpay service) from within Money
on this date?
If so, what is the reasoning behind this (coersive upgrade path... ??? ).

Thanks :-)

-Mike
