Your profile shows you have Quicken Subscription. If so, and if you have already created your Quicken.com account, log into it and download it from there.

If you have not already created your Quicken.com account, you can download the software from here: https://www.quicken.com/support/how-do-i-download-quicken-quickencom-after-i-buy-it . Then during the installation you will be prompted to enter the activation code that should have come with the disc that you bought.

Then do you have a backup of your data file? For Windows it ends in .qdf and .qdf-backup.

@linwoo6279 - To add to what @volvogirl asks: Installing the software alone will not bring back your data because all of that was saved in a data file that was on your hard drive and on any other drive that you might have saved a backup file to. You will need to open that file or restore it with your new Quicken installation in order to view and manage it, again. But if you lost those data files in your computer crash then your only option is to start a new data file from scratch.

One other comment: If you have been backing up your computer files to a Cloud storage site, then you might want to search there to see if there is a copy of your QDF file or QDF-backup file there. If it is, you can download it to your hard drive and then you can try to open it with Quicken.
