how to upgrade from quicken for mac 2015 to 2017

From Quicken 2015 To 2017 Mac Goes Smoothly

Thank you so much. I know I can continue using Q2017, but I download transactions for all my accounts daily and do not want to discontinue or enter manually.

Hello All, Thank you for taking the time to share your suggestions and feedback with the community.

At this time we do not anticipate COVID-19 impacting our discontinuation date for Quicken 2017, however this feedback has been shared with our Senior Leadership Staff for their consideration.

As much as this is a community that allows user to user interaction and support, there are at least 6 moderators that are Quicken staff, many pulled from the front line support team, so there is a lot of ongoing monitoring by Quicken staff.

Just because they (and we) have gotten used to users taking first crack at responses and that they do not respond to all posts does not mean they do not see all the posts or do not provide support.

What the OP was asking for is a major policy change.

In unprecedented times, an unprecedented change like that actually seems plausible; if there is not a technical reason it cant be done, it would actually be a nice customer service gesture for Quicken to make.) But while a moderator can pass on input from this forum to management, in my experience here, that generally happens only when there is a groundswell of user feedback on a particular topic.

In any case, I was just trying to convey to Susie (who is not new to the forum) that commentsideas posted here are not being read by Quicken management.

It may also be practical for Quicken to consider the extension as new installs usually comes with issues and Quicken has cut back on hours.

So both from a goodwill in an unprecedented time and also their inability to assist the increased workload due to 2017 customers upgrading.

FYI. I will probably purchase my upgrade but not install it as I definitely do not want to get into a position where my quicken is down.

Id rather forgo the downloads than have my new upgraded quicken fail with no support.

I would also encourage everyone to support and buy upgrades to Quicken We need to support all our businesses during this time.

I do not want to deal with the additional stress of upgrading Quicken while preparing my 2019 income tax returns.

It would be a good Will gesture on Quickens part to extend the April 30 deadline until after the tax deadline.

Thank you.

But I dont want anything to go wrong with upgrading to the new addition at this time.

I might just stick it out with the 2017 edition and just let it expire to be on the safe side.

You can keep using Quicken 2017 past April 30; you will lose the ability to download transactions and security price quotes, but you can access all your existing data, and you can enter data manually.

You will lose the right 20 of your screen to an obnoxious message from Quicken urging you to renew your subscription, but its still workable.

From Quicken 2015 To 2017 Mac Goes Smoothly

Generally -- famous last words -- the update from Quicken 2017 to the current Quicken Mac goes smoothly; its much less of an upheaval than importing from the old Quicken Mac 2007 or Quicken Windows.

One thing Id note is that Quicken 2020 will import and update for Quicken 2017 data file, but its completely separate.

So you can have both Quicken 2017 and Quicken 2020 installed -- and even running -- at the same time.

So if you want to try upgrading, you can compare old and new side-by-side, and you can try using them in parallel for a few weeks; then you can carry forward with Quicken 2020 or, if you run into obstacles you cant solve at this time, you can keep using Quicken 2017 and let Quicken 2020 wait until such time as youre ready to use it.

At that time, youd just do a new import of your Quicken 2017 data file.).

Thank you so much.
