They only support the banks that support the downloads directly.

Compare the length of the supported FIs lists. Microsoft needs to use Yodlee
to "fake" access to data that MANY FIs do not make available directly.
Yodlee does what's known as screen scraping. They pretend to be you and
pretend to login to the FIs website as you. Then they reformat the data they
"see" in their "browser" into a form usable by Money. Go to the MS list. Any
FIs listed as "direct * *via third party services" is getting done this way.

MANY FIs refuse to offer direct downloads for any number of reasons, not the
least of which is you don't get to see the ads on their web sites if you
just use Money to go get your data.

So how do open source programs like grisby do it? I never understood
why they need Yodlee. I thought I was just directly connecting into my
401k, credit card company and downloading data?

It's like they need to make $$$$ with some BS way.

Because one of Microsoft's paths to download to Money is via a service
called Yodlee which charges Microsoft some amount of real money for you to
download. Microsoft can spend money on something forever and give it away
forever. Microsoft is interested in making a profit.

Well, I guess there is always open source. I heard Grisby is pretty
good. It doesn't looks like MS cared about Money anyway, from the last
versions, and quality of the releases.

How can Girsy download for free, and MS needs a subscription? How is
this possible?

I haven't looked of late but the money web site used to say Dec 2009 (if I
remember right) as the switch off date.

I would guess that if there is no replacement upgrade, they will either
extend the time for free or via paid subscription (most likely the latter).
For example, I believe that when the UK version M2005 expired without a
replacement upgrade, MS just allowed the downloading of data to continue.

I believe Microsoft built in the capacity to extend a subscription for
downloading data (ie, pay more when it expires), without necessarily
updating the program itself. Time will tell what MS plans for the
product.

Yup. And "don't know" was the best answer.

But you might want to read more postings for the nuance.

Is this version of Money the last version? What will we do when this
version expires?

I'm sure this has been asked 1,000 times already.
