How to find my quickbooks license number?

Greetings @jaysanders,

Updating passwords can be frustrating but don’t worry, I’m here to help. If you registered your QuickBooks product there are a couple of options to retrieve your license number. You can have it emailed to you, or, you can sign in to your CAMPs (Customer Account Management Portal) Here is the link with the option for either: Locate your license or product number.

Let me know how it goes for you, I’ll be around!

Hi Monica — when I use F2, nothing happens. My 2018 product is an upgrade from my 2015 product. Can I update from there? The product key isn't working. Thank you.

Thanks for your interest to upgrade your QuickBooks, jredwood.

I can guide you on how to find your license number and upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop(QBDT).

The other way of finding your QuickBooks license number is by going to the Company tab. I'll show you how.

1. Click the Company tab.

2. Select My Company from the dropdown menu.

3. On the right side under Manage Your Account. You'll see your license number along with the product key.

Also, you'll have the option to upgrade inside QBDT. Let me guide you.

Here's how:

1. Click the Help tab.

2. Select Upgrade to Latest QuickBooks.

3. It will open a browser and then choose the product and hit Buy now button.

4. Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the process.

Additionally, create a backup of your company file before upgrading your QuickBooks software. This way, you'll have a file to look back in case you override it during the new installation.

Feel free to review this guide for more info: Upgrade your company files after you switch to a new version of QBDT.

Hi UCIncorporated,

Hi.  So my quickbooks has an error code and will not open so I can't retrieve my license #.  Is there anything else I can do?  I need it to reinstall once I go through the steps of fixing the error.

Thank you!

@MeRuby 

As mentioned by JessT earlier, login to CAMPS and you will find your license code. 

Yes 

is it possible to check the expiry date of a license I want to purchase without having to install quick book on my computer

@Ayodele 

Why do you need to know this information? If you buy a one-time license, it will not expire. 

Hello, Ayodele. 

Ideally, If you want to purchase a one-time license in QuickBooks Desktop, you can continue to use the software as long as you like. However, be aware that support for your product will end three years after its release. To learn more about product policy, you can read through this QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy article.  

Also, when you purchase a license, you'll need to install the QuickBooks desktop either on your computer or mobile phone so that you can input the details of your QuickBooks license number and a product number. 

Additionally, you can reach out to our support team for additional help or other options in using QuickBooks.   

Thank you for posting here in the QuickBooks Community. Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if there's anything else you need. Take care!

Which QB Desktop year version do you need to try? If you prefer to purchase a on time license for QBD 2021, you should have the trial version for it.

Hi there, she026.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. I'll be providing details about the difference between QuickBooks Online and Desktop versions. Then, to ensure you'll be able to find the product number and license number so you can continue using our program smoothly.

QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online accounts are two different platforms and intended to work independently from each other. With this, you don't have to use a license or product number when using QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you're referring to finding the company ID instead, you can see this number on the Account and setting page.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Choose Account and settings. Then, select the Company tab.
3. Go to the Billing & Subscription section and you'll be able to see your Company ID from there.

However, if you're looking for the product number and the license number for QuickBooks Desktop, you can visit the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPS) to get them from there as long as you registered your product. Also, if you purchased QuickBooks in a physical retail location, the license number will be listed on the packaging.

Additionally, since you wanted to try the desktop version, I recommend first using the trial version. That way, you can utilize and familiarize the various feature offered by QBDT without any impact on your company file. You can open this article to see the link on how or where to download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop: Download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop.

Lastly, I'm adding this article to further guide you on how to manage and use different options in QuickBooks Desktop: Help guide for QuickBooks Desktop. It contains topics about banking, payments, and various accounting process.

Please let me know if you have further concerns about your subscription. I'll be here every step of the way. As always, you can reach out to the QuickBooks Community anytime you need a helping hand. Take care!
