There is not a one-time purchase option with Banktivity 8. This is the reply I got:īanktivity 8 is subscription based.
(there's always a but in these stories!), it turns out that the new v.8 software is subscription only (absolutely no mention of that by them before I downloaded that version!), and there's no way to keep the v.7 I had been using. They suggested I download that software, which I did.īut. I contacted support again, and was told that there is a new version, Banktivity 8, hence v.7 being no longer for sale. With 5 days left on that trial, I went to purchase the v.7 software, and it returned a 'Item is not available for sale' message. All went well, had a 30 day trial with Banktivity 7, was pretty happy with it too. With that, they instructed me to use the 30 trial period for Banktivity 7 (what I ultimately wanted) on the new Mac, and import that newer data file. I did that, and moved that data file over to my new Mac. I contacted IGG support, and they instructed me to download Banktivity 5 (which worked on my old Mac), and use the 30 day trial period to 'update' my iBank 4 data file to a (I presume) newer format to use with Banktivity 7.
With the purchase of a new MacBook it was no longer supported with Catalina. I had been a long-time iBank 4 user, since 2012.
Sorry to reopen an old thread, but I thought I'd relate my recent Banktivity experience here for posterity.
