[David G. Pickett]

Poking aroun more, I see in Edit Security DIA it says "Warning: Finance Quote is not installed properly.".

Checking my cron job log, it says:

I see since it updated to 5.0 the quotes are not coming in from my daily cron and the get quotes button is grayed out, so you broke something.  Any concrete suggestions on specific actions on how to reactivate this, which was running fine in 4.13 ?
