Almost every software program including desktop changes what functions are available based on the level paid. My AV's functions vary based on the Free version, Base, and Pro. Ditto with backup program, remote desktop, tax, zoom, etc. So Quicken is following a very similar and common model.rcwynn said:... 1) it is wrong to change anything about the interface based on a subscription for a DESKTOP product. This is not web product. Until the user actually changes the product on their equipment the interface should not change whatsoever.
That is unfortunate after all these years and hopefully you reconsider later.rcwynn said:...I am no longer going to use any Intuit/Quicken products ever again. I have been a user for over 25 years
@rcwynn I do understand why you were upset, but it is based on a misconception. In the old days, you licensed a piece of software, installed it on your computer, and it ran until an operating system update broke it; then you bought an update or a new version, installed it, and moved on.rcwynn said:it is wrong to change anything about the interface based on a subscription for a DESKTOP product.

It should not matter the a subsciption level downgraded because it isn't relevent to the data.
From day one, it has always been that if you buy from Quicken.com it activates the subscription immediately. I'm sure this just what they believe is easiest for the user. Buy it, use it, with no other steps. Nothing has changed in that regard.Damian said:1. They removed the need for the user to input an activation code when they purchase directly online from Quicken, and 2. The retail version's activation codes are one-time use only.
The comparison page on Quicken.com is much better than it used to be; there's a lot more detail:Chris_QPW said:I agree with that Quicken Inc should better document the differences, but don't really see them doing it. they have yet to do it all these years, and only give a very rough description of the differences.
I agree, better, but far from giving all the details. Especially for downgrading to Starter. Lots of surprises in it that people don't expect.jacobs said:The comparison page on Quicken.com is much better than it used to be; there's a lot more detail:Chris_QPW said:I agree with that Quicken Inc should better document the differences, but don't really see them doing it. they have yet to do it all these years, and only give a very rough description of the differences.
