6. I'm looking for a replacement, too.

When I loaded the Quicken 2015 installation disk in my new computer, it put me through all kinds of ID verification, then wouldn't let me sign in. I had already transferred the data files and deleted the program from the old computer. After failing installation on the new computer, I tried to reinstall it back on the old one, but it wouldn't let me log in there, either. My data files are now inaccessible unless I can convert or export them to another program.

After all this happened, I learned about Quicken's new subscription requirement to make their programs usable, and it seems to be retroactive to prior editions. That's an absolute no-go for me.

None of the programs in the article you reference, which is the same one I was using as a guide, allow importation and conversion of Quicken data files. I will not link to banks or anyone else. I will not use their "cloud" to store my data.

All I want is a stand-alone program similar to Quicken for tracking income and expenses. I want to use it off-line, without any requirement for data links or a paid subscription. Why is this so freaking hard anymore?
