I have loaded my QB Desktop 2021 onto a new computer. I have gone through the "Activate your Product" window, and it shows me the registration, with the advice to print my information. However, it won't take me any further. What do I need to do?

These are common scenarios you can encounter when activating QuickBooks Desktop, along with their fixes, David.

When you mentioned that it won't take you any further, do you see a blank screen when you try to activate it? If so, your antivirus software may be interfering. Consider temporarily turning off your antivirus and repeat the process. Don't forget to turn it back on after completing it to maintain your system's security.

Please refer to the attached link for detailed guidance on resolving activation, license, and product number issues: Fix activation, license, and product number issues.

If you're referring to a different issue, please provide more specific details to help us accurately identify the problem and offer a precise solution.

You must contact Support and ask to reactivate your license. If they refused to do so, you can use the trial version as a workaround.
