When upgrading from 2003 to 2007, to import / back secure the old backup data. This is no longer possible with the 2007 data and the July 2013 program. At some point in between Lexware ruled that the client must make annual updates - so every year must buy the current Lexware version - to be able to read to each backed-up data in the next version again. Jumps as from 2007 to 2013, not intended / possible. That in itself is a sassy sales policy - and that is definitely the last Accountant program that I bought from Lexware. The highlight is the enclosed 'assurance certificate', on which the backup is guaranteed: precisely until 31.12.2013 ... :-(
One can only hope that 'the market' which regulates ... and bye
