How to register Quicken Personal Plus 2008

MartinH

Hi, I have been using Quicken Personal Plus 2008 on a Windows 10 PC up until January 2025 when my PC died.

I have just tried installing Quicken on a new Windows 11 PC but I can't register it as the license servers aren't contactable. How do I go about registering the product?

I have also tried restoring Quicken onto my new PC from a backup but it now reports "This does not appear to be the same computer that your copy of Quicken was originally installed on. You will need to contact Quicken to update your license details. …"

Hi @MartinH,

You could also use this KB for the error message you mentioned earlier:

But you will need to register over the phone as there is no online activation for such an old edition.
Thank you and speak to you soon.
