I have been a Quicken user for more than 20 years now. Problem is, the only usable version of Quicken is the Windows version. I currently use a Mac and have an entirely separate Windows computer only for Quicken. Flux 7 mac review. This past weekend, I bit the bullet and bought the Quicken for Mac version. Pros: it's come a looooong way. Also, it is lightning fast.

  Quicken 2015 will NOT be updated. Quicken has produced updates to Quicken 2015: Quicken 2016, 2017, and now 2018/2019. Quicken 2015 is no longer supported, and it won't be updated. There's an easy path forward, but you'll have two pay for an upgrade. If you can find Quicken 2016 or 2017 on eBay or elsewhere on the open market, you could run that without having a current Quicken subscription. Otherwise, you can buy a one-year subscription to Quicken 2019; you can continue to run it without paying to continue your subscription as long as you're okay without further updates or any online/download services.
  Out of curiosity, what tool are you using that gives you that messages about 'some internal components that are still 32-bit'? In macOS System Information, Quicken 2015 is identified as 64-bit..
  .. so I figured it would run on Catalina.

  @Glenn I just downloaded the Go64 app and let it scan my Mac.
  Regarding Quicken 2015, what is shows is that it's 64-bit compatible except for the 'Quicken File Exchange Utility.app', which is 32-bit. If I remember correctly, this application was for converting data files from Quicken 2007 to Quicken Essentials. I don't know if it was just a carry-over from Essentials in Quicken 2015, or if it was used in the early days of converting from Quicken 2007 to Quicken 2015. If you're not importing data from some older version of Quicken, I don't think you'll run into this running Quicken 2015 under Catalina. (If Catalina detects and blocks it, you might actually be able to open the Quicken 2015.app package and delete this app-within-the-app in the Shared Support folder. Be certain to make backup copies of your Quicken 2015 app before trying this!)
  Quicken 2016 and beyond do not have this app-within-the-app, and so they pass muster for 64-bit comptability according to Go64.

  Glenn, the 32-bit app in question is inside the Quicken 2015.app package, not inside your data file -- so if you want to try surgically removing it, make sure you have a copy of your application as well as your data file.

• Jacobs,
  I am using the app Go64 by St. Clair Software. I have used some others and they don’t delve as deep. You can, also, contact developers directly from the report that is created. Yes, even Apple’s System Information report doesn’t indicate there are components that contain 32bit code. By the way, Go64 is free.
  Thanks for the information and your help.
  Glenn

• Jacobs, you are correct. I am just afraid that Catalina is not even going to launch Q2015. Unfortunately, I have only one way to test this and won't know until the release of Catalina. I will definitely have multiple copies of my data before trying it. I usually have 3 copies, including offsite. I may try removing the 'quicken File Exchange Utility' app, but will wait until I see what happens without the modification. Thanks again for your help. Glenn

• I typed a reply and it is somewhere in the dark web. So I will try again.
  Jacobs,
  I know the 32-bit app is inside Quicken 2015.app. I already have a second copy of the app, so I am good to go. Thanks for reminding me to use a backup copy. Glenn
