Hello there, @mastoroudes22-gm.

Let's know which QuickBooks Desktop versions can still be activated as a new product.

The oldest QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) version you can download or activate is 2010 from our website. QuickBooks 2008 and 2006 are old versions that are no longer supported. With that, we're unable to activate them as a new product.

Below are the outlined versions of each product that you can use:

QuickBooks Desktop Pro - from 2010 to 2021 or Pro Plus version.
QuickBooks Desktop Premier - from 2011 to 2021 or Premier Plus version.
QuickBooks Desktop Desktop Enterprise - from 2010 to 2021 version.

You can go to the Downloads & Updates to get the download link for your version of QuickBooks. To download the installation file, you can follow the steps below:

From the Downloads & Updates page, select your country, product, and version.
Select Download.

To learn about installing and activating your QuickBooks Desktop, you can follow the instruction provided in the How to install QuickBooks Desktop section and How to activate my QuickBooks Desktop section. Sample screenshot:

However, we can't guarantee we'll be able to register, provide key codes, or offer data and password recovery for older versions of QuickBooks for older and non-supported products. Also, we recommended purchasing a supported version since this serves as a new product of yours. This ensures you have the latest features and services.
