Need Activation Code for Quicken XG 2005
2scotts
I own an old version Quicken XG 2005 which I am happy with. I want to install it on a new computer, but I get to the point of it requiring an Activation Code. I've gone through Quicken and am told as they don't support it any more that I'm out of luck. Does anyone know how or if I can get the Activation Code?

Here's some old info I have in my notes. I thought 2004 was the last XG version.
Some posts about XG version and UK. 2004 was the last XG version. It expired after 10 years. Some of the link in these old posts might not work anymore, especially if they go to the old Intuit forums that were before Quicken was sold. If you want more you can search for XG in the forum…..

One comment I found says……
Quicken/Intuit pulled out of the UK market ~2004, so the version is at least that old. Conversions from 1) very old versions of Quicken without going through new versions, and 2) from foreign versions of Quicken can both lead to data integrity issues.
The US versions of Quicken only support imports of older US formats. The other versions (Quicken for the UK or Australian market) might be similar, but are not the same.

Intuit (which sold off Quicken) pulled out of the UK market 15 years ago. It is doubtful you will be able to get an activation code on an unsupported program. The servers that handle these codes/activations likely were shut down years ago.

Thanks. I think I'm just out of luck. Product was bought in Canada.
