Using an Intermediate Version To Convert Older Versions of Quicken

With every new version of Quicken, many changes are made. Over time, the core product changes drastically from the much older versions, which may cause problems when upgrading to a newer version of Quicken. Intermediate versions of Quicken serve as translators in the upgrade process. It may be beneficial to install an intermediate version of Quicken first before updating to a more recent version.

To convert from Quicken 1 through 5 to a more recent version of Quicken for Windows, use Quicken 6 for Windows. If you are converting to Quicken 2005 or later, use Quicken 2004 for Windows as an intermediate.

If you are having difficulty converting to the most current version of Quicken, you may need to use one of the following (technical support will advise you):

• Quicken 99 for Windows
• Quicken 2000 for Windows
• Quicken 2003 for Windows
• Quicken 2004 for Windows

Quicken for DOS
