Now I think that the upgrades available, are of little or no benefit for the costs charged. I also use its personal accounting sofware вЂQuickenвЂ™ at home. I say so regrettably, as I have used QB since 1998 through various businesses вЂ“ and until recently have promoted its functionality wherever possible. I donвЂ™t think AdobeвЂ™s Lightroom, Photoshop, etc., required this, but I was so busy getting a weekвЂ™s worth of stuff transferred from my laptop to the Mac Pro after the repairs, I wasnвЂ™t really keeping track.ДЇelt that I should add to this, hoping to warn others not to fall into the trap of purchasing Quickbooks Software. So if your old version of QuickBooks wants to be re-registered because you change your motherboard - I assume theyвЂ™re locked into the LAN MAC address - donвЂ™t let anyone tell you the only choice is to upgrade.Д«TW, I havenвЂ™t been keeping track, but I *think* the only other app that had to be re-registered after the Mac Pro came back from the shop was the Apple stuff: iTunes, Final Cut Pro, etc.

Although some features may not work right under Snow Leopard - I havenвЂ™t encountered any of those features - thereвЂ™s no other reason I shouldnвЂ™t be able to continue to use my 2007 version on that version of the OS.

ThereвЂ™s no reason (other than that misinformation) that the QuickBooks support folks shouldnвЂ™t have been able to help me re-register my 2007 version for Snow Leopard.

Apparently thereвЂ™s quite a bit of misinformation within his sales and support teams. Update: Sometimes I forget who reads this blog and my Twitter posts! A few hours after posting the above I got a call from an apologetic product manager at Intuit. But the support people quoted me $159 so when I called Sales I held them to that price and they approved it.

P.s.: Officially, thereвЂ™s no вЂњupgradeвЂќ price for QuickBooks for Mac 2010. I sure wish I knew of a viable alternative to QuickBooks for Mac that was suitable for a small non-profit. There are a lot of apps and vendors whose software I find annoying (eg, Adobe), but none are as sleazy as Intuit. Again: the app runs fine it just thinks itвЂ™s unregistered and therefore stops after 15 executions.

LetвЂ™s be honest here: If Intuit wanted to support its customers, theyвЂ™d send out a fix to their registration program so that people who needed to re-install under an upgraded OS could so so. And none of these programs died just because I replaced the logic board. Heck, even that stuff from sleazy Adobe still works. IвЂ™m still running an antique version of Microsoft Office. I can count on a few fingers the software that forces me to buy a new version when upgrading the OS.

The only choice: Upgrade to QuickBooks 2010. Only problem: Their registration program wonвЂ™t run under SnowLeopard (OS X 10.6). When it came back, QuickBooks decided I was using an unregistered copy of the software and asked me to register. A few weeks ago I sent my Mac out for repairs and they had to replace the main logic board. Here at the non-profit Conversations Network weвЂ™ve been using QuickBooks for Mac 2007 sinceвЂ¦2007.
