What is the Quicken Data Access Guarantee?

What is the Data Access Guarantee?

The Quicken Data Access Guarantee means that whether you renew your subscription or not, you'll always have full access to and ownership of your data. You can view, edit, export, and manually enter transactions and accounts, even after your subscription ends. As always, your Quicken data is stored on your local computer.

Access to online services, such as transaction download, quotes, and mobile sync, along with access to Quicken Support, will end if your subscription does. We’ll continue to let you know about our latest enhancements within the Quicken product.

Quicken Starter version: The Data Access Guarantee applies to Deluxe and higher versions of Quicken; the Starter version will become read-only with limited functionality. A list of features available after expiration are listed further down.

Quicken 2017 and older versions: The Data Access Guarantee only applies to the Subscription Release of Quicken. Quicken 2017 and older versions may still work, but they are no longer supported.

What does this look like?

If your membership expires, you'll see these messages in your Quicken product:

Just click the Renew or Update Now option to purchase a membership. The only way to remove the expiration messages is to renew your subscription.

Please note that the Quicken Data Access Guarantee is subject to all limitations and conditions outlined in the Terms of Use (U.S. or Canada) and End User License Agreement (U.S. or Canada).
