Why does Quicken periodically discontinue access to services for their products?
A. The answer is simple – we strive to deliver the best products at the lowest cost to our customers by investing in technology that makes Quicken better and easier to use. One of the ways we are able to do that is to manage the costs associated with supporting older releases. Therefore, Quicken provides services to the currently shipping Quicken version and the prior two years’ versions. We believe this enables us to provide you with the right level of service, while still providing leading-edge solutions to our customers at the lowest cost. Quicken 2009 is a very significant upgrade. It makes your online banking easier by connecting to over 4,000 banks, credit cards, and investment accounts to help you see your complete financial picture.
