Deborah: (1) Quicken reps don't respond to questions here very often. If you ever want response directly from Quicken, you should contact Quicken Support. This is primarily a place for Quicken announcements and user-to-user support. (2) If the response you're seeking is an answer to the questionable about whether Quicken 2016 is compatible with Sierra, the answer is yes -- fully compatible. (3) If you're using Quicken 2016, there's no need to buy Quicken 2017. If they add new features over time that you find would be valuable to you, then you can buy it; if Quicken 2016 works okay for you, then continue to use it.

Dec 10, 2018 - Have Quickbooks for Mac 2013 and installed Os X Sierra yesterday without knowing my Quickbooks isn't compatible. What can I do to access. Is Mac Sierra better than Yosemite? How can I completely hide or remove the Dock in Mac OS X Yosemite? Google Drive client for Mac does not work with Yosemite. Is there a workaround?

(I think many users would prefer to be able to do annual upgrades for a modest price, rather than waiting a year or two and purchasing at full price, but that has *never* been the way Quicken software is sold.).

I have been stupid enough to install macOS Sierra and now the Quicken program I purchased 2 years ago will not work. Message reads 'You can't use this version of the application 'Quicken Essentials.app' with this version of MacOS. No warning from Apple that programs may no longer work. I received no information from Quicken, no assistance other than your problem can be solved if you give us more money for something that has a shelf life of 3 years if that. There should be a law against technological coercion. One could argue this is the 21st Century version of organised crime. Paula: I'm a manual entry person, too.

You can purchase Quicken 2016 or Quicken 2017, but the new version will continue to get upgrades with new features over the next year, so I would purchase that. The only reason to even consider Quicken 2016 is if you can find it at a very steep discount somewhere.

With either program, once you install the new Quicken and launch it, you will see a 'getting started' screen which gives you the option to start from a Quicken Essentials file -- select that, navigate you your existing Essentials data file, and Quicken 2016/2017 will import it and convert it to the current file format with all your data intact. Liz: As best I am aware, there is no way to transfer data from Quicken to Quickbooks. @ and @ This question is about QM2016, not QEM. So your discussion should be made in a separate post, not here. But just to address your issues: Quicken provides support for software for up to about 3 1/2 years from the ORIGINAL release date (not the purchase date). That is their business model.

Beyond that, they do not guarantee their software will work with other new software. You are still able to use the product on past Mac OS versions. In this case, Quicken does not require you to upgrade your Mac OS. So your choices are either upgrade to QM2016 OR restore your old Mac OS.

If you want to move your data and application to another computer, the simples is to copy both onto a USB key/stick/thumbdrive and copy these back onto another computer.

Well, I'd say Apple actually is responsible for causing Mac users to have to spend money more often to upgrade their software more often.

In the old days, Apple updated the operating system every other year, and we had to pay for the new versions. Then they made the operating system free and moved to annual upgrades. It might be great for bringing new features to users faster, but it's a pain for users who are satisfied staying put. The mcOS annual updates trigger dominos falling that require upgrades to the software products, and also to Macs, in order to keep up with the latest macOS. Some people expect software developers to keep up with Apple and churn out upgrades every year, and do it for free. Apple has also helped create the expectation that software upgrades are free, and that new apps cost a few dollars. It's unfair and unrealistic.
