Quickbooks Pro 2006 For Mac
In 2007 I bought QB PRO 2007 for MAC. 2 weeks ago I bought a brand new MAC Air and transferred all software including QB 2007 from my old MAC to the new MAC Air.
Upon starting my QB on ther new MAC, I am getting a message to register it, or after 15 runs, it will stop working. A quick call to customer service should fix the problem, right? Not Unless I pay them $200 more for software I already own!
Here is their explanation: QB 2007 is not compatible with the new MAC operating system. The guy in India tells me this, while I have my QB on and am obviously succesfully using OS 10.6.5 COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE! The only thing not compatible is my money being in my pocket, since Intuit wants to have it.
The operator tells me that I will have to buy new QB software to be able to continue using it beyond the 15 trials. He does not see any other solution, besides me forking over $200 for new QB. Effectively, I will have to pay again for software that I already own.
WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!!! INTUIT, please do not tell me about my software being incompatible with the new MAC.
It obviously is, since I am using it! You just limited its use to 15 times. Beyond that, its: PAY US AGAIN, SUCKER! THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! I do not need the latest QB 2011 PACKAGE! I just want to keep on using the software that I paid for. I know that I am venting my anger here, but this situation is ridiculous.
Any solution to my dilemna?? That's Intuit for you. Quickbooks is one of their major cash cows Look on a brighter side (sorta of way). I had Quickbooks 2009 for Windows. Put it on my Vista. Got new Windows 7 laptop in late 2009.
Tried to install Quickbooks 2009 on Windows 7. The freak PDF function in quickbooks was all messed up. It was barely useable. I had to go by Quickbooks 2010 to work with Windows 7 (pure laptop machine). And Quickbooks 2010 works very quirky in parallels 6 with Windows 7. So a 2007 software getting 3 years out of it is pretty good.
My software lasted 1 year before it was incompatible. That's Intuit for you. Quickbooks is one of their major cash cows Look on a brighter side (sorta of way). I had Quickbooks 2009 for Windows. Put it on my Vista.

Click to expand.Yes I paid full price (actually got lucky cause Costco had it onsale for $100 instead of $180). But I need Quickbooks for my small business. If you look at the side of the box on Quickbooks 2009 for windows (it doesn't list Windows 7 as being compatible).
Duh, Quickbooks 2009 was released in late 2008 and Windows 7 wasn't released to the public until Q3 2009. Lots of complaints about it on Intuits web pages. I know you don't like wasting money on new software but considering you have a 3 year old software, it may be time to upgrade. Cause Intuit really only plans on providing support for their software for only 2 years cycle.

Yes I felt I got screwed on Quickbooks 2009 by forcing me to buy Quickbooks 2010 to be fully Windows 7 compatible. But I have a small business to run and they know businesses will folk over the money for compatible software. What a bunch of quitters. I have used Quicken for my accounts since version one. I have also been a Quicken Beta tester since then, but in 2004, they stopped any further development in the UK, but that version continues to work in fermentum. If I was faced with that attitude towards Quickbooks, then I would have no hesitation in downloading a pirate version. Why the hell should you not be able to use the version that you paid for if you are happy with it rather than be forced to buy an upgrade.

Even Microsoft do not have that attitude, you can use any version of Windows or Office for as long as you wish to, and although you will not get support, why would you need it after years of use?
