Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided to discontinue the product. Here is the official statement from Money website.

Important notice: Microsoft Money Plus will not be available for purchase after June 30, 2009. All purchased Money Plus products must be activated prior to Jan. 31, 2011.

With banks, brokerage firms and Web sites now providing a range of options for managing personal finances, the consumer need for Microsoft Money Plus has changed. After suspending annual updates of Money Plus in 2008, Microsoft is announcing today that we will no longer offer Microsoft Money Plus for purchase after June 30, 2009.

I can understand that Banks are providing very elaborate online solutions these days but I like the ability to have 1 stop for multiple banking products like accounts, cards, financial portfolios. I am really sad to see it go. I guess I ‘ll have to start looking at alternatives.
