Q: If I buy this product does quicken charge a yearly membership?
A: According to Quicken's Data Access Guarantee (https://www.quicken.com/support/what-quicken-data-access-guarantee), after your subscription expires, you will lose access to connected services such as mobile and web access, and the ability to download transactions, you will still have access to your data and will be able to manually enter new transactions. If these limitations are acceptable to you then just remember not to renew your membership.
Q: Is there a way to download as a purchase and not have to pay an annual fee?
A: Absolutely. Buy it at Best Buy & download it using the key you'll purchase there. Once you've bought it, you own it. It lives on your computer. There will be opportunities to update it, which you can do. You may see messages saying there are updates available. You could just say yes and accept those updates. But when you've owned it about a year you will start seeing a pop-up that will give you the opportunity to purchase and you can click on a square on that pop up to stop reminding you if you want to and be done with it. I use the same version for multiple years sometimes. I choose when I want to update. I don't update every single year.
