As you note, it has worked for some people but not others. Quicken never supported importing from Quicken 2006 files. I know of people on this site who in the past year have tried to import Quicken 2006 files into Quicken 2019 and failed -- but then succeeded when they subsequently got Quicken 2007.smayer97 said:Also note that QMac can theoretically also convert QM2006 and QM2006 data files as they are the same data structure.
No, Quicken 2007 Lion Compatible -- what's being sold on the eBay site I referenced -- was sold only as a $15 upgrade to existing Quicken users. It was not sold as a new product at full price. Because this same seller has had this listing on eBay for a long time, I believe they display the copy of an packing slip from Intuit -- which has been clearly doctored in Photoshop -- and are simply copying the software repeatedly onto flash drives for sale at a rather high price. It's not super-ethical, but for someone who desperately needs a copy of Quicken 2007 LC, it's a viable lifeline.smayer97 said:BTW, the pricing you see for QM2007 is not overpriced per se...it is actually just the original pricing...
As you have acknowledged, the caveat has been provided, so I am not sure what the contention is. I'm providing the OP alternatives to navigate this challenging position because who knows to what the OP has access (e.g they may have a friend with an old version). They might be a lucky one.jacobs said:As you note, it has worked for some people but not others.smayer97 said:Also note that QMac can theoretically also convert QM2006 and QM2006 data files as they are the same data structure.
You are actually only partially correct as you are leaving out an important piece. QM2007 LC was officially only targeted and supposed to be sold to users who already owned QM2007 PPC, though in practice that was not always the case (it was even given for free by Quicken as an intermediary version with the purchase of "modern" QMac). So technically, to obtain QM2007 the user would have paid $55 for the PPC version (at least that is what I paid many many years ago) then $15 for the LC version for a total of $70.jacobs said:No, Quicken 2007 Lion Compatible -- what's being sold on the eBay site I referenced -- was sold only as a $15 upgrade to existing Quicken users.
