Hello, @Paulkark! Thanks for dropping by. I'm happy to receive your first question in our Community forum. I'll help you locate your license number in QuickBooks Desktop.

Payment modes don't affect where you can locate your license number. However, there are different ways to find them based on how you purchase your QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

• If you bought a digital version of QuickBooks Desktop from our website, your product info is the original purchase confirmation email.
• Look for the label on the original package next to the UPC Code if you bought QuickBooks from a retail store.

Furthermore, you may always obtain your license number online as long as you registered your QuickBooks Desktop product. Check out this link: Customer Account Maintenance Portal.

You may want to read for more details about your product information. Please visit this article: Find QuickBooks Desktop license info.

I've included this article for your reference in managing your password for QuickBooks Desktop moving forward: Reset your password for QuickBooks Desktop.

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

Can you still run QB on your machine and open any file?

Hello there, Zachary. I'm absolutely delighted to have you here in the Community thread and I look forward to helping you locate your product and license numbers. 

Good thing about QuickBooks is it gives us a variety of ways to locate our product information depending on the situation and which we find more convenient. And I'd be glad to discuss them with you. 

First, you can view your license and product numbers by logging into the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPs) which shows all the registered Desktop apps and subscriptions.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to camps.intuit.com or learn more about signing in.
2. Look for your app or subscription in the Product and Services list.
3. Select Details.

This lets you see not just your License and phone numbers but also the User limit, Payroll service key, EIN, subscription number, and other payroll subscription details, Product edition,  Version info, and what's included in your Care plan.

Also, if you've registered before, we have a permanent record of your data. You can quickly locate your information using the tool below. This secure locator makes it easy to search via phone number or email. You just have to enter the Business email and Business phone used while purchasing QuickBooks: Locate Your License or Product Number. This article also contains other ways to find your QuickBooks License number. 

Additionally, I'm delighted to include this article that you may find helpful in case you encounter errors when entering your product and license numbers, your activation code, or you get an error after you subscribe or sync your data: Fix activation, license, and product numbers issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

@Johnny Chesser 

Which QB Desktop year version did you have?

i found company id but product number not available on quick books online then what should i do????

@sajid abbasi 

QB Online and QB Desktop are 2 different products.

Do you have QB Online? Installation number and product number are only available for QB Desktop.

Why do you need a product number?

Thanks for sharing this in the thread, Sajid. Allow me to provide a brief clarification about the product or license number. 

You don't have to do anything about the product number not showing in your QuickBooks account, as this is exclusive only to QuickBooks Desktop users. In QuickBooks Online, we used the company ID to identify your company and account. 

Furthermore, you can manage your subscription in QuickBooks Online. This will also provide the steps to update the card on file, change your subscription and billing schedule, or view your billing history in the program.

You can send a reply if you have other questions about managing your company account in QuickBooks. We've got your back and we'll lend you a hand. Have a great day!

I had an issue with Windows 10 and had to reinstall it and now Intuit is requiring me to give my license # and product # to get back into it. I can't open it to push F2 to find it.

I have no idea what the gear icon is?
