I am currently using a very old version of Quicken. I would like to know if I buy license for the new version, I understand it is only for a year. If I do not renew it, BUT also do not use quicken to access the internet, does it stop working even though it is only being used locally on my Mac? Lee

I have no personal experience, but according to the Quicken Subscription Membership FAQ list:

What happens when my Quicken membership expires?
The Quicken Data Access Guarantee means that whether you renew your subscription or not, you’ll always have full access to and ownership of your data. You can view, edit, export, and manually enter transactions and accounts for Deluxe and higher versions, even after your subscription ends. Access to online services, such as transaction download, quotes, and mobile sync, along with access to Quicken Support, will end if your subscription does. We’ll continue to let you know about product changes and enhancements within the Quicken product. You will also see expiration messages within the program (for examples, see How will I know if I need to renew my subscription membership? below).

The Data Access Guarantee applies to Deluxe and higher versions of Quicken; the Starter version will become read-only upon membership expiration or cancellation.

So, the answer is: It depends on the version your subscribed to.

If you have the starter version, you end up with read-only access to your data after expiration.

If you have Deluxe or higher, it will keep working, but without any online services. So if you hand-enter everything, you should be able to keep using it.

And, of course, you won’t be able to install any updates without a current subscription.
