This is purely informational...
I converted to Sunset a few days ago, knowing lights were out on 31 Jan. On a whim I decided to install Microsoft Plus Deluxe (paid edition, not sunset) on a virtual box. Much to my surprise the activation still worked. Money did indicate
upon startup that online services would die (had died) 31 Jan. I brought in an old backup that still had all of the online services active. I ran an online update - and lo and behold, I got all my statements downloaded! I was feeling pretty
happy just about then. I did notice that all the entries listed "provider has updated their offerings". A few hours later, I went back and did another update - This time the update did not complete. The update logged indicated that
"Online Services had expired". Funny enough, when I click on the message, it claims my online services expire 1 Feb 2013 - two years after installation.
In any case, at least in this corner of the world online is really dead. Sigh. PocketSense for now - though looking forward to see what the guy who cracked the file manages to do.
