I miss the days when you didn't have to renew for three years even more.
How long can I extend my membership plan?
A membership can only be extended in the last six months of a subscription term. Therefore, multiple terms cannot be purchased and used at once to extend a membership. Retail purchases: Activation codes expire 24 months after being generated.

"updates" are fixes to problems they've created or roll-backs of new "features": https://www.quicken.com/support/q...ase-notes. Their core codebase is obviously ancient and needlessly difficult to maintain. Users are paying the price for that, and HIG Capital (the owners) are reaping the benefits.
Sadly, I haven't found anything that works quite as well with all of my historical data and investment information. PersonalCapital.com is probably closest, but it's online-only, and subject to the whims of that organization.
As for renenwal, I guess I was "lucky": I purchased a year of Quicken Premier over a year ago and had to wait to use the code. Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with any of the "new user" BS/extortion; I added in the code from the Quicken desktop app, and it extended my subscription by a year.

Agreed.
Question: At what point can you enter your software code to extend your subscription? I am subscribed through 5/23 and I don't see any place to enter a code.

Mint's investment-related features are very rudimentary, and I can never find accurate details on how they calcualte rates of return and other stuff that's probably outside the scope of their monkey-making efforts. I do occassionally use it, but the constant bombardment of ads and whatever they might do with all your data (regardless of your privacy settings, which I always check rigorously), it's not something that can take the place of Quicken for me. I would still probably recommend it to people that don't use anything else for managing their personal finances, though (some reporting is probably better than nothing).
On the other hand, I'll mention (again), I think Personal Capital does an excellent job with investments, including categorization, deep drill-downs in to things like fees, sector investments, and many types of allocation graphs/charts. Their goal is obviously to get people to sign up for their managed services (which haven't performed well, from my personal research). Combined with accounts at two major financial institutions (which also have great tools), that works well for me. I hope this helps!
Concern here is how long will these codes last. Got one right now as my sub expired a month ago.
Hint: they make money thru ads, you are the product.
For others, I hear the complaints about SaaS, but in this day and age someone has to pay for software support. Noone or nothing is going to stop you from using 2017 Quicken but if you need that connectivity, surely it can't be free? Someone else mentioned all we are paying for is just maintenance and not features. I disagree, all that connectivities require up to date security updates and banks/FIs may keep changing their data format due to security and regulations, someone has to pay for that maintenance, these are simply upkeep.
Do I think $40-$50 is too much to pay for yearly maintenance maybe, but it is just not free.
I agree I hope there is competition in this area so we get cheaper softwares for more features.
