Don’t Let The Sunset On Your Software – FrugalTech

Last April I was required to update Quicken 2005 Deluxe to Quicken 2008 because of Inuit’s sunset policy.

I respectfully disagree. Quicken is an valuable software product, low priced and intended for mass consumption. Older quicken products are “sunset” because the file format for data storage was never intended for handling large amounts of data . Intuit discovered this. Rather than have users continue to use a product that could breakdown they sunset. But the upgrade costs only $99 or less. But if you want a custom accounting software product, it will cost $50k or so.
