To disable the registration prompt (nag screen) for Quicken 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004:
1. Press and hold the Ctrl + Shift keys on the left side of your keyboard while you select the Online menu and select One Step Update.
Note: Using the Ctrl+Shift keys on the right side does not disable the prompt permanently and the following message does not appear.
2. When the message “You will no longer be prompted for registration” appears, click OK.
Online features such as online banking, security quotes download and product updates will work normally if you do not register your copy of Quicken.
Awesome! Works for 2007 also. I was about to go through the registry and all. Thanks!
btw, had trouble getting here… google points to your feed instead of your actual post.
Thank you so much for such a simple solution!
Thanks. My Quicken 2008 (windows xp) locks up when going through the registration screen. After I hit the Finish button, it locks up. Thanks for the tips to bypass that screen.
Thank you, Worked for 2009 also…. I was not able to type in the fields.
Excellent! Thank you! Your tip works for Quicken 2003 as well, which I refuse to upgrade.
THANK-YOU!!! Seems to be working excellent so far. I noticed that I needed to do exactly as you said and choose the MENU choice. Choosing the online icon did not seem to work (??). I own a legal copy of 2007, and do not want to upgrade either!
In the past I tried this (possibly suggested by Quicken help desk as one way to get rid of nag?): Edit>Preferences>Quicken Programs then clicked on Setup, and checked the [x] Automatically minimize popup windows. The latter seemed to work for a while, but somehow eventually the nag screen came back!
Anyway….Thank-you again for your solution, as it is working for me now!
Awesome. Thanks so much. This tip is incredibly helpful.
Thx! This tip worked perfectly in newly-installed Quicken Basic 2005 on my Vista 64-bit PC.
I had a never-used Q2005 CD that I got free (after rebate) with TurboTax for 2004, never installed it until now because Q2002 was working fine on my WinME PC. I was delighted that Q2005 installed on Vista (because I’m cheap, that’s why!) but there’s obviously no reason to register it now.
