When you install QuickBooks, you'll need to enter your license and product number.
Don't know them yet?
To find your license and product number:

- If you purchased QuickBooks on CD, look for the scratch-off label in the original packaging (next to the UPC code)

What if I just need to update my software?
Why isn't my version of QuickBooks Desktop available to download?
QuickBooks Desktop versions from too long ago aren't available for download. Because we can't ensure that older software will still run on modern systems, we don't support or offer downloads for those products.
Activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows
- With QuickBooks Desktop open, press the F2 key.
- In the Product Information window, verify the registration status next to the License number.
If the status is Activated, you're all set! - If the status is Not Activated, select OK to close the Product Information window, then, from the Help menu, select Activate QuickBooks.
Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your information and complete the activation process.
Activate QuickBooks Desktop for Mac
- From the QuickBooks menu, select Register QuickBooks.
- Enter the License Number and Product Number, and select Next.
- Select Register Online.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration.
If the Register option doesn't appear, the software is already registered.
Older versions
In line with Intuit's discontinuation plan for older products, discontinued products cannot be registered for the first time. You can re-register discontinued products if they have been registered before and are being reinstalled.
You can contact us to get the validation code, but assisted support for discontinued products is no longer available.
