Quicken 2016 For Windows Reinstall

Question

Hello everyone,

I have just suffered a desktop PC failure and have had to reinstall Windows 11 and all my application software again. I had a working version of Quicken 2016 with no issues running it on Windows 11 before this. Now I am faced with having to reinstall my Quicken 2016 software again.

I apologize that I may be going over well-trodden ground again with this issue, but I have not found the specific answer on all the posts I have seen so far.

I have the original Quicken 2016 disk and running the install has been no issue. But I have fallen foul of the requirement for an Intuit ID much like many other people. I have seen messages that suggest I need to run a Mondo patch to get past this but the link for it (http://quicknperlwiz.com/quickenpatches.html) take me to page which says 404 Error - Page Not Found.

I don't remember what my Quicken ID was when it was originally installed and I never used the online capabilities of the software. If the ID was in the form of an email address then it will probably be an old email address which I no longer have access to.

Can anyone please confirm where I will find the patch(s) that I need to run are.

Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you for following up!

I am happy to provide you with the patches we have available. Click here to view them.

However, it is my understanding that they will not work if you have never before purchased a subscription, although I don't recall ever trying it.

That said, if you do purchase the subscription version of Quicken now to get yourself back up and running, you can opt out of renewing every year. Once you have purchased the subscription, if you choose not to renew it, you can still use it manually, as you have been doing with your 2016 version.

One thing to note is that you will have expiration banners. One goes across the top of the screen, and one goes down the side. The banners do not prevent you from using the product.

Sorry, I don't have pointers on restoring the 2016 version. Maybe some of the Super Users will see this discussion and offer up some advice.

Thanks again!

Hello Alyssa,

Thank you for your speedy response.

Would I be correct then that if I was able to get hold of Quicken 2017 software, then you could direct me to the patches for it? I'm afraid I do not wish to start a subscription model as my needs are simple and I was quite happy with my local version of the software I had before my PC let me down.

Hello @Paul Perkins,

Thank you for posing this question.

If the most recent version of Quicken you purchased was 2016, then that was before the subscription model was released in 2017. Unfortunately, you are running an unsupported version that we do not offer downloads for. All of the patches we have available are from 2017 to the present. Before the subscription model was introduced, logins were Intuit IDs; after the subscription, those became Quicken IDs.

@Chris_QPW created QuickenPerlWiz, and sadly, it was recently taken down. This is why you are receiving the 404 Error.

You can use this link to Compare Plans & Pricing on the latest Quicken versions if you wish to renew.

Alternatively, other users may chime in with tips and suggestions.

Hope this helps!
