Hi... my Quicken 2017  Premier is expiring soon.  I had bought Quicken Premier 2019 from Amazon... boxed version.  I don't seen the "enter activation code" under help in Quicken 2017.  How do I enter the activation code fro the 2019 version I bought or do I need to install Quicken 2019 Premier?  Thanks

You can't use the 2019 activation code to extend your Q2017.You need to install Q2019 and use the activation code there.

Hi @plao ,

There is no upgrade path from 2017 to Quicken Subscription without problems.

See this procedure to uninstall 2017:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7731283/installing-reinstalling-and-upgrading-to-windows-quicken-2017-versions-procedural-adjustment

Do bot reinstall Quicken 2017.

After running CCleaner Free, go to:  https://www.quicken.com/activate

Select / Click I'm a new Quicken member.
If Windows, click Download for Windows. Save it then right-click and click Run as administrator.

If you are going to be using a Data File Password, you will need to reinstall Quicken using this procedure:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7844658/installing-reinstalling-windows-quicken-subscription-editions

Why? There is a Quicken Activation Server Bug, that you will see if you are going to use a Data File Password..
