Are we able to use our tax exempt status to renew our Quicken

Question

We used a reseller to purchase our licenses for Quicken Deluxe. Now we need to renew but they are telling me they can't renew, rather we need to go through Quicken. I am only finding that I have to use a credit card, PayPal or our banking info. Is there any way around this?

Just to summarize - 
1 - you can purchase retail Quicken from your usual sources & use your tax-exempt letter to save taxes...
2 - you DO NOT want any version that indicates - "For New Users Only" - 
3 - within the box (or download & email) - there should be an Activation Card - with a code & maybe an expiration date 
4 - you don't have to actually install any new software - you just need the Activation Code 
5 - within the last 6 months of your Quicken Subscription - 
you can enter the Activation Code in your existing Quicken to extend your Subscription

If you buy a new Quicken make sure it's NOT for New Users only.  That won't renew your subscription.

Thanks Greg, I didn't even think of that. I assumed that would mess up our subscriptions.
