How do I migrate my 2017 Quicken data (I'm getting an error)

Leschnei

I have been using Quicken 2017. After transferring all of my data to a new computer, I couldn't open my Quicken file. I received the following error message: "An error occurred during persistent migration". I just purchased Quicken Deluxe and tried to migrate the data there, but received the same error message along with: "The document "xxxx.quicken" could not be opened." It advised me to check for updates, but I'm already using 5.15.3. Any suggestions on getting my data migrated? Thanks, Leschnei

Sorry, I intended to include those details:
Before sending my MacBook Pro (OS 10.15.3) out for repairs (the right fan), I migrated the entire contents of my computer (except for applications) to a MacBook retina (also (OS 10.15.3), but never opened Quicken on that second computer. After the repair, I reloaded the system on my MacBook Pro (still OS 10.15.3) and migrated files back, including my Quicken file (called Finances 2.quickendata). Before the migration I was using Quicken 2017. After the migration back I redownloaded Quicken 2017 (v 4.8.6) and tried to open my Quicken file. After that failed, I purchased Quicken Deluxe (subscription) and tried it again, but still failed with the error messages from my previous post.

I'm confused too. I did have Quicken Essentials at some point during the many years that I've had Quicken. I'll have to dig through old Time Capsule backups and see if I can find a .quicken2017 file. Thank you for your help - at least I have a better idea what I'm looking for now.

Thanks again.
