Enter your product key then click Activate Membership to complete activation.Īfter you enter the product activation code, Quicken will open and you will see your new membership end date under Quicken > About Quicken.However, to continue to receive updates and banking information, you had to update every few years anyway or Quicken would cut you. For users, this was fine - because you could avoid bad rollouts like Quicken for Mac 2017. In Quicken, choose Enter Activation Code. Its bad, because many Quicken users kept their software for years, and never upgraded.Quicken has software for Mac and PC users, but Mac users frequently complain about restricted capabilities and problems, making it a less-than-stellar personal finance tool.

If you purchased a download of Quicken, you'll receive this in an email if you purchased a CD/Disc, the activation code will be printed in the box. Regular upgrades and releases provide features and handle customer concerns, which is one of the reasons why Quicken is so popular. If it's not the same version (for example, you have Deluxe but want Premier, or vice versa) Quicken will pro-rate your existing membership and apply it to your expiration date. Even the new Quicken for Mac, doesn't do the trick for me. I was discouraged with the Quicken Essentials for Mac. However, when I bought another computer in 2012, I discovered that Quicken 2005 was no longer being supported.
