Installing the QuickBooks 2016 version on your new computer is essential for seamless work, Danny. I'd be delighted to share the possible cause of the issue and ensure this gets resolved.
The QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2009 and 2016 are different versions. Both programs have different license numbers and product codes. It's the cause of why the code was rejected.
To successfully install the QBDT 2016, I recommend using the online downloader tool. The older versions of QuickBooks are still available for download through our website. As long as you have the necessary information for registration and licensing, it's still possible to go back in time.
Beforehand, make sure the program is compatible with your newly purchased computer.
Then, follow these steps to download the 2016 version:
- Open the Online Downloader Tool on your new computer.
- Select the correct Country, Product, and Version.
- Once done, click Search, then Download.
After that, you can start installing the QBDT 2016 version. Then, enter the correct license info.
If you don't have it handy, open the 2016 product on your old computer and press F2 on your keyboard. Alternatively, access your email and look for the purchase confirmation (it contains all the necessary details). Or use our license lookup tool to locate the information.
Once done, create a backup of your file on an external device like a USB or a hosting service. Then, move the data to your local hard drive before restoring the copy.
Finally, I suggest running various reports to keep track of your business performance after moving to a new device:
