Need a validation code

@Mantanna 

QBD 2008 is too old and they won't bother to provide the activation code. Consider to upgrade to a newer version with a non subscription license.

Need a validation code

I understand that time is of the essence, Mantanna. Let me guide you to the appropriate support channel to address this matter promptly.

 

Obtaining your validation code is crucial for activating your QuickBooks Desktop product. To do so, we'll have to perform certain steps to get them. Thus, if you have registered your QuickBooks software with Intuit, you can retrieve your validation code by logging into your Intuit account. 

 

  1. Sign in to CAMPs using your product's credentials.
  2. Then, look for the 2022 version of QuickBooks.
  3. From there, click on the Products and Services, select Details, and follow the onscreen instructions to retrieve your validation code.

 

I understand that you’ve already reached out to our chat support team. However, for a more efficient resolution, I recommend contacting our customer support directly. They have the necessary tools to generate validation codes and activate your QuickBooks. Make sure you sign in to your Intuit account to request that we call you. Please follow these steps:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
  3. Select Contact Us.
  4. Give a brief description of your issue, then select Continue.
    • Sign in to your Intuit account, select Continue, and then Continue with my account. If you don't already have an account, make sure to Create a new account.
    • We'll email you a single-use code. Enter your code and select Continue. If you have more than one account, select the account you want to use and then Continue.
  5. Select to chat with us or Have us call you.

 

I'd also like to share that QuickBooks Desktop 2021 software (and prior versions) was discontinued after May 31, 2024. This article will go through the policy in detail. Please feel free to give it a read anytime: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

Do you need to reinstall your license?

Can you login to CAMPS and find your license code there?

Need a validation code

Hello there, @ally1. I'm here to provide information about getting a validation code for an older version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Since your QBDT 2018 version is already discontinued, it's out of our technical support to provide one. Your best option is to gradually upgrade to a currently supported version or purchase a new one.

 

Moreover, you can access your CAMPS to get your validation code.

 

  1. Sign in to CAMPs using your product credentials.
  2. Locate the 2022 version of QuickBooks.
  3. Click on Products and Services, then select Details.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to retrieve your validation code.

 

For more details, please refer to this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

 

Additionally, please refer to this article about setting up your company file: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let us know if you have other concerns with your validation code in QBDT. We're here to help you in any way we can.
