Updated version for Q17 for Mac bought on the App Store
When will the updated version be available for those of us that bought Quicken on the App Store? I know there is a lag due to App Store specific rules but we are getting real close to September 30th. I don't want to be locked out of my file on October 1st if I haven't been able to create a new ID and password.
Any ETA for it? Am I going to have to buy it again from Quicken.com? That would tick me off. If I had known that there were going to be issues because I bought it through the App Store, I would have bought it directly.

I don't know when the update will hit the App Store, but you could always buy the current version directly from Quicken, then when the App Store version is released, return the Quicken-purchased copy within the 60 day return policy.
Recommend just importing my file into the program or will it just load over the top of the old?

If you follow this path, you should first delete the MAS version of the app. You can reinstall it later using the Purchased tab in the MAS. When that time comes, first delete the Quicken-purchased copy. In each case, you may have to double click your data file to open as the app may not be able to find it, so make sure you know where your file is stored. When you double click a 4.5.8 data file with 4.6.4 installed, 4.6.4 should offer to convert it.
By the way, I don't know what means Quicken uses to ensure that you erase the Quicken-purchase app when you return it (if at all).

It is these constant little niggling things with Quicken that made me switch to iBank (now Banktivity) many years ago. I used that for about 8 years and with Q17 for Mac I decided to try it again. This hassle is making me reconsider. To me, the programs are essentially interchangeable with Q17 being a little more intuitive and easy to use but Banktivity being more customizable.
The updated version will be available on the app store, but if you have the utility you should be able to update an app store version - hopefully this will help: https://www.quicken.com/support/updating-quicken-mac-purchased-mac-app-store

BTW- as of 1645 EST on September 29th, no updated version on the App Store. Cutting it kind of close aren't they?
Here is the message shown when trying to run it:
Quicken 2017 (App Store) was purchased from the App Store.
To install updates, choose “App Store” from the Apple menu () and click on the “Updates” tab.

Banktivity is starting to look pretty good. I already bought the newest version as an upgrade earlier this year. Quicken still favors their Windows users over their Mac ones. Not surprised. Why can't they get their act together?
Apologies for the late reply--the Mac app store should be online soon--there were some delays, but the update is being reviewed, and we've worked out a special exception that will prevent MAS users from being 'cut off' from services until the middle of October.

In my opinion, Quicken Mac users should not buy this program via the App Store. You get your updates later than everyone else, and you always pay full retail price (where Quicken often offers discounts and retailers like Amazon usually sells at a discount). That's no help to you right now, but the next time you're ready to purchase an upgraded version of Quicken, you might consider changing where you buy it.
