In 2007 I bought QB PRO 2007 for MAC.
2 weeks ago I bought a brand new MAC Air and transferred all software including QB 2007 from my old MAC to the new MAC Air.
Upon starting my QB on ther new MAC, I am getting a message to register it, or after 15 runs, it will stop working.
A quick call to customer service should fix the problem, right?
NOPE! Not Unless I pay them $200 more for software I already own!
Here is their explanation:
QB 2007 is not compatible with the new MAC operating system.
The guy in India tells me this, while I have my QB on and am obviously succesfully using OS 10.6.5 COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE!
The only thing not compatible is my money being in my pocket, since Intuit wants to have it.
The operator tells me that I will have to buy new QB software to be able to continue using it beyond the 15 trials. He does not see any other solution, besides me forking over $200 for new QB.
Effectively, I will have to pay again for software that I already own.
WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!!!
INTUIT, please do not tell me about my software being incompatible with the new MAC. It obviously is, since I am using it! You just limited its use to 15 times. Beyond that, its: PAY US AGAIN, SUCKER!
THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!
I do not need the latest QB 2011 PACKAGE!
I just want to keep on using the software that I paid for.
I know that I am venting my anger here, but this situation is ridiculous.
Any solution to my dilemna??
