How many machines does your client's software license cover?
If you use his software only to work on his books/accounts aren't you covered by his license?
Probably getting into deep legal problems here, perhaps someone has the answer.
Obsolete?
I was under the impression that Intuit withdrew 'Quicken' from the UK market about 7 years ago. It might be arguable that it is therefore "abandon-ware".
3 choices as I see it.
1. Use the client's key - technically naughty unless it allows use on 2+ computers but you're unlikely to have "FAST" after you for a long since obsolete application if you're only using it to work on the same data as the client's licensed copy.
2. Buy a copy on e-bay (or similar). (check it will work on Vista/W7 if you use these)
3. Explain to your client the software is obsolete, carries no support and is effectively unobtainable ... switch to something else.
