Personal Finance Management with Free Microsoft Money Plus Sunset

Sponsor

Hi Friends,

Many hours ago Peter told me about Microsoft Money news but I could not write it then. But I am writing it now before it is too late. M$ Money was a personal finance management software which can be used for personal as well as small business purposes. The latest one was Microsoft Money Plus and has had four version: Essentials, Deluxe, Premium and Home & Business. But the matter of fact this was discontinued a long time ago and there were no new version available.

Now Microsoft has decided to release Microsoft Money Plus free to general public but under new brand name Sunset. The new name is Microsoft Money Plus Sunset. Word Sunset is added to all brand names of M$ Money. Old MS Money required online activation but this Sunset release, does not need activation.

The Microsoft Money Plus Sunset versions provide an alternative version of Money with the following:
► No activation requirement. This version can be installed/reinstalled as needed without a requirement to activate
► No online services. Discontinued services include online quotes, bill payment, statement downloads initiated by Money, data sync with MSN Money, etc. If your financial institution provides OFX or QIF statement downloads, the Sunset versions will allow you to import those statements into your Money file
► Online Help is replaced with a local Help file
► No Assisted Support. Self Help and community support may continue to be available for a few more years
► File conversion from older versions of Money. The Sunset versions are able to open and convert Money Plus files and files from older versions of Money (e.g. Money 2006, Money 2007). The Sunset version cannot convert files created by regional (non-US) versions of Money
