Thanks for reaching out to us here. It's important you get the help you need and I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction. 

In order to remedy the activation issue, I recommend using the QuickBooks tool hub. The QuickBooks Tool Hub is designed to help fix issues such as the one you've described above. Feel free to check out this article here that shows you how to effectively use the Tool Hub to your advantage.

Call the Support number provided by JamesM4. The potential problem is that your version is outdated. If Support decline to activate your license, you can use the trial version as a workaround.
