Overview

When you open your Quicken data file in a new version of Quicken, your data file is updated to work with the newer program. We call this converting your data. You can also "convert" your data from Quicken for Windows to Quicken for Mac (or vice versa). 

Important: The conversion process provided here applies only to U.S. versions of Quicken. 

Instructions

Can I convert from an earlier version of Quicken for Mac to the Subscription Release?

Can I convert from a version of Quicken for Mac older than 2007?

Quicken for Mac products older than 2007 are not supported for conversion; however, if you have a data file from an older version of Quicken for Mac, you can attempt to update to the latest Mac version.  

  1. Install the latest version of Quicken for Mac
  2. Select the Start from a Quicken Mac 2007 file option, even if your file is from a version that's older than 2007.  See the "Start from an existing Quicken 2007 file" section in this FAQ for information about converting to a new version of Quicken for Mac. ​

Please note that this conversion may not be successful, given the age of your data file; we recommend that you open a new data file in the latest version of Quicken, to ensure data stability.
