What is a membership upgrade & why am I losing functionality?

I received an email saying that I would no longer be able to download transactions unless I upgraded my membership. What membership? This software is useless to me if I cannot download transactions. I paid for this software, and now I'm required to pay extra or lose a critical functionality? Will someone explain this to me, please?

    It sounds like you're running QW2017.  Per the terms of the End User License Agreement, ALL ability to download into that product ends on 4/30/20.
    You CAN continue to run QW2017, but any downloads (transactions, product updates, quotes, etc) end.
    And, you did NOT "pay for this software".  You paid for a license to run Q subject to the EULA.  You agreed to this EULA when you installed Q.  Had you NOT agreed, Q would not have installed.
    Here's the discontinuation policy which, again, you already agreed to: https://www.quicken.com/support/quicken-discontinuation-policy

    Well, pardon me for not stating precisely what I paid for. I expected a more polite answer.

    You paid for the software and support of the online access feature for a period of 3 years.  After that 3 year period, you can continue to use the software, but the online feature will be restricted....
    The current "subscription" model of software deployment changes from a 3 year span to a 1 year span....
    Several software companies have started migrating to this "subscription" model.
