New Computer - going from Windows to Mac

I currently have Quicken on my Windows computer. I purchased a new Mac Mini and need to get the version for Mac. Also, I need it to download since there is no disc drive on the Mac Mini.

My Quicken will automatically renew on April 23. How do I go about changing?

Thanks for any help with this!

    Your Quicken subscription entitles you to download the Windows AND the Mac version. So all you need to do is log in to your Quicken.com account, and in the Access your Apps box, click on Quicken Mac to download it. You can do this now or whenever you want; the renewal of your subscription isn't a factor here.

    Hopefully you are aware that Quicken Windows and Quicken Windows are more like close cousins than identical twins; there are things that are the same, things that are different, and things which don't exist in Quicken Mac. You will have a learning curve as you get to know Quicken Mac. Try not to let it frustrate you right off the bat that it isn't just like Quicken Windows; give your brain time to adapt to new ways of doing things.

    Your subscription includes both versions. Simply log in to your quicken.com account and download the Mac version from the Overview tab.

    Copy your Quicken Windows data file over to the Mac before running Quicken Mac the first time and it will give you the option to import your QWin data when you create your QMac data file.
