Quicken UK Alternative Accounts software Accounting Software for UK Quicken Mac Version. Intuit, the makers of Quicken no longer support Quicken in the UK so existing Quicken users will need to find an alternative. Money Manager for Mac is an ideal replacement for Quicken, our accounts software is very easy to use, value for money and has. I used an old Quicken for years, but upgraded so it would run on a newer Mac. I have Quicken 2017 (Mac) and time is running out for using the downloads. After March 2020, I will still be able to use Quicken 2017, but cleared transactions will have to be cleared manually. The download transaction matching feature mentioned earlier is just one of many features that exists in Quicken for Windows and not in the Mac version but there are many more basic differences. Most notably, the Reporting features of Quicken 2018 are still far behind what was available in the 2007 apart from improvements such as Investment Lots.

Quicken is a package that works pretty well, but the manufacturer has a tendency to periodically block functionality.

For example, Quicken 2006 has been unable to download updated stock prices since April 2009. Quicken 2006 itself installs on even the latest Windows 10 (2016) just fine. [As an aside, it is just amazing that Windows 10 has kept compatibility alive for old software - Quicken 2006, as well as the SendKeys method used by the script below! Kudos to Microsoft!]

There is certainly no technical decision to disable automatic stock price updates - it is just a marketing push, so make people upgrade even if they do not desire to move to a new version.

Quicken does have a manual 'Import Prices' command seen when viewing the Portfolio. Therefore, it is not too hard to write a script that will download current prices, and import them into Quicken.

The script looks up historical and current prices for a list of symbols, and stores the prices in the format Quicken needs. Optionally, it can automate the import of the prices in Quicken by using Windows automation SendKeys method.

Prices are looked up using the Yahoo Finance web site. Quicken manual import prices only accepts date and price for a symbol, it cannot import volume and other data.

The script does try to automate loading of the price data into Quicken, but the mechanism of using SendKeys is very fragile, it may not always work - keys may get to the wrong window, or at the wrong time.

Version 0.3 of this package added support for non-US users, based on the code given in a comment (#5535), the /dmy and /div100 options provide that support. From what has been reported elsewhere on the web, shares and mutual fund price downloads in UK are priced differently - shares in pence, funds in pounds (or vice-versa?). So QImportP provides the /div100 option which can be used when needed.
