Checksoft Personal Deluxe

DID NOT USE IT

The software is garbage, and the support is even worse. I have had computers for over 25 years and by far this has got to be the worst I have ever came across. It is very difficult to set up and very not user friendly to use. I had an issue with the printing alignment of the 2 and the 3rd check on a page. I finally found the customer support number, and the automated system said to call another number, which I did. After being on hold for over 35 minutes I finally got a live person. I explained the issue and he said to get support I have to pay for it, I stated that it said free support. His response was that it is threw the email. He took all my info and said that he will send it on to the email support team and they will be ready when I send then my email. I then got an automated email that I will receive a response within 2 days. Three days later I finally get an email stating that they are closing the case, since they have not heard back from me. So I responded that I have not had an answer to my original issue. Finally after two weeks I have given up. The free customer support basically does not exists. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS.

Beware of this company. As others have stated, the software is very version specific to different accounting systems it integrates with. There is no indication on the packaging as to what versions. Updates are free, but upgrades are not - and guess what, version support changes are upgrades. Requiring people to pay full price for an upgrade just to do what the packaging says its supposed to do is pretty close to fraudulent. You would think the least they could do is offer a steeply discounted upgrade - but I guess they got their money already, so . . . The versions youll find at Staples and similar stores apparently only support QuickBooks 2010 and earlier.

This software product was very easy to install and use. It will save me money on my checks. The product gives you many options on your check printing

I have a very old version that worked on XP and Vista, all the way to Windows 7. I purchased this newer version with the intention of using it when I get my next computer using Windows 10. The old version was the best of several other checkbook software packages that I tried. So I am expecting good results from this version. I will update my rating later.

I bought this software less than a year ago. I used it twice to print checks. Neither time would the background I selected print on the checks. I tried to use it again yesterday and got an error message telling me that the license was already being used and to contact the seller. When I called the sellers number, I got a recording telling me that the number was no longer in service. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software. I now get an error message telling me that I could not install it on two different computers! Dont buy it!

Worst experience Ive ever had trying to use, setup this program. 1st time in 30yrs of using and setting up computers, that I find this product dificult to understand, not user friendly, and trying to get support next to impossible. Its in the trash! BUYER BEWARE!

Checksoft does what it promises to do. Ive purchased the product before but had to get another DVD - as such Im setting it up from start again on a different PC. Ive reordered it this time because I liked it so well the last time.

I returned because it would not accept or print my entire account number. Caused a few returned checks because the bank could not process them.

If you have the correct version, Checksoft works well. Ive been using it for years to print checks from Quicken in one pass. However when I upgraded to Quicken 2010, my old version of Checksoft wasnt compatible. Avanquest tech support told me I needed to buy the latest version. I went to an office supply store and purchased a new copy. NOWHERE on the box does it state which version it is! But it does say it will work with current and previous versions of Quicken, and to check with Avanquest for updates when newer versions of Quicken are released. They also have a 30 day money back guarantee. Heres the catch! After much emailing and finally telephone calls, I discovered that: The money back guarantee requires that you pay to ship the product back to Avanquest, and they will reimburse the purchase price, but not any sales taxes collected! 2. If they do agree that you are entitled to a Free update, you still need to pay $7.95 for shipping! Apparently you cant download an update, perhaps because most of what comes on the DVD is Clip-art! If you need this software, buy it directly from (gag) Avanquest. You will need to search their site for the cheaper Personal Deluxe Edition, as the only direct link is to the more expensive Home and Business version! Avanquest needs to put the version information on the OUTSIDE of the box! They also need to be clear about what an update will cost. I doubt I will ever buy any more software from Avanquest.
