Step 1. Update my Quicken Software

To ensure your software will perform as described in the instructions below, perform a One Step Update to receive the most up-to-date version of your Quicken software and Wells Fargo Advisors online information.

Note:
To determine which Quicken release is installed in your software, choose About Quicken from the Quicken Help menu. The About Quicken window contains current release information.

To perform a One Step Update, connect to the Internet, and complete the following steps:

  1. Choose Online menu > One Step Update.
  2. Uncheck the Financial Institution box, then click Update Now.
    • If an update to Quicken is available, Quicken displays a message at the bottom of the One Step Update Summary dialogue box indicating there is a Quicken update available.
    • Click on the message and follow the on-screen instructions to install the available update.
  3. Verify in the About Quicken the latest release of the software.
