Question

Intuit deny activation registration of brand new 2017 desktop pro.

Brand new, unopened, silver validation information remained covered until recent.

Intuit states they have zero record of the License code and we are disallowed to activate.

This disk was sitting in the same box as the laptop for many years and because we did not install immediately- we are being penalized?   I have been using QB since 1999 and installation is a simple process

It's indeed important that license number is activated and registered in order to effectively manage your business operations with QuickBooks, @TTAG.

 

To double check the validity of your validation code, it's best to contact our Customer Support Team and provide them with the license number so they can pull up your account in the system. They can use their tools to check if your validation code is valid or not.

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.

@DebSheenD  RE: With this I recommend contacting the retail store in where you've purchased the license number to assist you.

 

What for? How will they help?

"What for? How will they help?"

 

For sure.  I guess that's easier than telling the OP that they're SOL.;-)
