I've been down this road before.  Intuit doesn't support its software to force customers to pay more.  It used to require a chunk of change every three years.  Now it's a minimum of a $1/day to migrate to online QB.  (Intuit doesn't allow QB to be migrated to Quicken.)  What next?  If I knuckle under, subscribe and migrate on-line, I have no confidence it will go smoothly or that I will receive customer service that won't cost me more time and money.  I have lost faith.  Correction:  As far as I'm concerned, if I do business with Intuit, I deserve the neglect and exploitation I get and have no right to complain.  As unhappy as losing access to MANY years of data would be, I'm in the market for an alternative product.
