Wondering if anyone has paid/charged to upgrade to new version? Mine
was 2005 to Quantum. This includes server and workstation install along
with conversion of 5 companys. Spend about 5 hours.

yes, we all (should) pay to upgrade, but only about every 2 years; and
then to get new features (like the bank stmt download), and to avoid
having to call support with an 'obsolete', not-supported version.

Do you mean pay a Ptree consultant to do the upgrade? I am a
consultant myself, so consider it 'insurance' in case anything goes
wrong. But, you can deliver your own baby, if not afraid of risks.
And being without accounting data for a few weeks is not as bad a
consequence as my analogy might imply. for most people.

Just helped 2 clients to upgrade - sounds like you could expect a cost
of approx $400 in consulting PLUS cost of software PLUS 5 hours of
downtime at your staff time.
