If I switch to subscription
I am on Q17 for Mac. I want to know if I switch to subscription and later decide not to renew after 1 or 2 years, will the program and my data still be available. Or is it somehow 'locked' and I can't get access?

Also, just so I'm clear, is the subscription still for client-based software and for the data. I don't want my data on a cloud site.0

Your data will become read-only only if you buy the Starter edition. Otherwise, you will be able to continue to use your software in manual mode, without the online functionality, including downloading data.
The use of the cloud is completely optional, mostly used for syncing to online features like QMobile and QWeb. The main data is still and always stored locally.One caveat to all this is that if you do let your subscription expire, Quicken will now hijack about 25% of your screen real-estate for advertising. Quicken has determined that this is the price to pay if you let your subscription expire!If you dislike this business decision, you can add your VOTE to Quicken Inc should eliminate or minimize the LARGE Advertising space used when subscription expires!First, click on the underlined link above to go there, then click on the VOTE count at the top of page 1, so your vote will count.(note: the vote for this is currently not working but hoping to get that fixed soon)Your VOTES matter!You may also want to contact Quicken Support to express your concerns atHave Questions?
