Know How To Register Or Activate Quickbooks Desktop With The Help Of Quickbooks Support

You have to register or activate the software each time you install it. With the help of this article, the QuickBooks support team will guide you how you can register or activate your QuickBooks desktop. If you have multiple copies of QuickBooks installed, you are required to activate each one of them.

Register or Activate QuickBooks Desktop

Before proceeding with the activation you can check if it is already activated. To check that, press the F2 key or Ctrl + 1 key on your QuickBooks and check for the status. If the status is activated, then you are good to go with your company file. If not, then proceed with the activation.

If an error is displayed saying “incorrect validation code,” then check for your product and license number.

Ensure that the product number should match the license number; If not then change the product number before proceeding with the activation.

If you are looking to change your product or license number without performing a clean installation process, you can contact QuickBooks Support on our toll-free number.

Steps for Windows users
