    Everything now is based on a yearly subscription. Old versions cannot see new versions but new versions can see old ones

    If you don't renew, the share price will drop off as well eventually

    Firstly you could do a backup and as long as he has the current version he could look at your backup file, secondly you could give him access to your machine so he could log in and see what you have got.

    If he doesnt have a copy of PP2023 he can get a trial version for free from Reckon.

    My accountant does not use Reckon, so that would mean I would incur yearly double cost, to me, for him to install it, as this will be an additional ongoing cost,

    The purpose of doing this is to facilitate support for my wife, who does not understand how to access our home financial software, does not do any banking, or paying of accounts and I am looking for security (for my wife) should I pass away before her, I am have now passed 85 years and my wife's age is similar.

    Your accountant should be able to afford this as we all know how they charge and it could lead to them being able to help other clients.

    Another thought, the reason why I subscribe to an updated version each year is the facilitate daily price update for my share portfolio, in other words I will be personally tasked with the day to day activity. Under these circumstances would it be necessary for my Accountant to update his version of PP do so Otherwise in my opinion I probably would not required the latest version each year

    Given this scenario, if my accountant, on my perhalf, purchases a current version would it be necessary for him to have an updated version each year, and would here be able to continually see data from my updated version and if so how many years would here be able to do this.

    I hope, what I'm asking you makes sense, in other words I don't replace my accountant software yearly, maybe every three years, or so?
