In the confirmation email you received there should be a link on how to
contact them so that you can request a refund for the extra copy.

Quantity ordered = 2? Quantity one can install on your laptop and
desktop both. The activation process limits activations to two
computers.

No. After two years, it will continue to work with limitations, as,
I expect, your Money 2004 continued to work with limitations.

To open Money 2004, use the shortcut that points to the msmoney.exe
in the Money 2004 folder

You could reinstall Money 2004 to change the file associations. You
could adjust the file associations directly for *.mny, *.mbf, *.ofx,
*.qif. The method differs with the OS.

I should have left well enough alone. I d/loaded the PLUs trial and then
purchased. Received Billing Info email with a charge for TWO copies.?????
Product SKU: KEA-00005
Product Name: Money Plus Deluxe
Qty Ordered: 2
Still waiting for a customer serv response.
Activated product and NOW find that there's an expiration date of
10/20/2010. ??
I do NOT use any online services. Does this mean I have to purchase another
upgrade in 2 years.?
If so, how can I uninstall and revert back to my 2004 edition.? I did not
remove it when I dloaded the Plus trial but now it opens in the Plus version.
Thanks in advance . . . Frank

Beware that Money is heavily regionalised so that a US version cannot
"import" a file from a different region. So US > US is OK.

Note that you don't "import" your .mny file into the newer version. You
install the new version and it will find your old file and convert/upgrade.

Thanks for the confirmation and quick comeback. Might as well go for it and
get the 'new Standard', altho I won't be using but the bare "essentials". As
long as I know I can import my data files.

Correct. MEss cannot deal with data files from other editions/versions of
Money. Deluxe is the new Standard. (Though it has the features like Cash
Flow Forecast that Standard didn't have at the end.) Essentials is, well,
MEss.

Dick - Is what your saying is that MEss would NOT be able to import my .MNY
data from my older version (M04 in my case), if I d/load and install it.???
This sucks since I don't need the the Plus Deluxe or higher. All I want is
the basic control over my savings and checking acccts and my credit cards. I
don not need to see my acct from my "banks perspectives".
All I ever needed was what was once called the 'Standard Edition'.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for explaining this to me! I was getting very frustrated. I
think I am going to have to ditch ME and upgrade.
Thanks again.

The Money Essentials (MEss) model is that since all the data came directly
from the bank there is nothing to balance. You are seeing the account from
the bank's perspective. The MEss model is that there is no other perpective.
All it thinks you need--essential--is all of your bank web sites aggregated
and with Micrsooft controlled ads and links instead of ads and links from
your banks.

If you want anything like what you experienced in M03, you need to ditch the
MEss and get Money Plus Deluxe or higher. This would also read in any data
file you have from M03--something MEss will NOT do.

I know this is a stupid question. But, I can't figure out how to start using
ME to balance my checkbook. I've downloaded my checking account from my bank
to ME. Now, how do I start to balance the account? It shows everything as
being cleared. On my old computer I used Money 2003! I can't figure how to
get started.
