I use Moneydance and I plan to switch from Window 10 to Linux. Will I be able to import my data, or will I have to re-enter it all?
And will I have to pay for it again, or will my registration still be good?

    Just to confirm: the Moneydance data file is operating system independent. You can open in with Moneydance on any operating system that can run the program.

    Regarding your question about purchasing, for non-business use, our licensing policy allows you to install the version of Moneydance you have purchased on as many computers as you need in your household, regardless of operating system. Simply use the same license key you are given for your initial purchase on your other household computers. If you need an older version of the program, you can find them at: https://infinitekind.com/previous-versions-of-moneydance
