While you can Download the software for free, you are supposed to Buy it, to own it, and get a License. The Product Code will "install" the software based on the "edition" you bought.

 

Did you buy this, or just download it?

Need product code and product number

I purchased Qbooks POS v18 yesterday.  Your company emailed me my 2 license numbers with no download link.  I had to get with support and did get an email link to download, but now I need a product code to install.  why are all the email sent with no-reply.. why wouldn't you want to allow people / customers to ask simple questions.  Oh and your phone system robot is amazingly stupid.

Hello, Pboymds.

 

I appreciate your effort for reaching out the support team to get the download link. Though, you don’t need to do that just to get it. The article containing the link is available in the Community. 


What you need to call for is the product code. This is because the information is confidential and every license has a unique one.  You can visit the Point of Sale section in this article to reach them again: Which Payments product do you need help with?


You can also check this article in case you’ll get an error when registering POS: Invalid Product Code or Invalid Product Number. 


Feel free to visit us again if you need anything else.

This might be awesome advice if the application started. Unfortunately, if the OP is like me, they can't get past the setup process to access the QuickBooks Desktop Help menu.

Need product code and product number

I'm in the same situation (had to reinstall QBP2017 on new VM) but I can't get past the setup window. It's telling me my license # and/or product # are incorrect - which is incorrect, since I've used those numbers to install the application multiple times over the past few years due to hardware failures/upgrades.

 

What do I do if I can't get to the QuickBooks Desktop Help menu?

I'm here to help you with the installation process, JoAnne Unger.

 

Let's double-check and make sure we're using the correct product code. Below are the ways on how to get your product code for your QuickBooks Desktop:

  • If you bought QuickBooks Desktop from our website: Look in the purchase confirmation email you received from us.
  • If you bought QuickBooks from a retail store: Look for the brightly colored sticker on the original CD envelope.

Another way to check your license and the product number is through this link: License and product numbers.

 

If the numbers are correct and the same thing happens, we can download the QuickBooks Tools Hub and run QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. This help fix and close any open background processes that QuickBooks uses. Sometimes the background processes cause QuickBooks to not accept a product number.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.


Once done, please proceed to these steps below:

 

  1. From the Tool Hub, then select Installation Issues.
  2. Select QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. It can take up to 20 minutes.
  3. When the tool finishes, restart your computer.

 

For additional details on fixing wrong product numbers for QuickBooks Desktop, check out this article: Fix errors when activating QuickBooks, or adding license and product numbers.

 

Once done, you can continue installing the product. Here's an article for the steps on how to install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To help you get started with QuickBooks Desktop, you can keep these articles handy for future purposes.

Thank you for joining in, @Sherry211. I'm here to guide you in getting your product number for QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

I want to make sure I'm giving you the correct information. Is Paradise an online shop where you bought the product?

 

If so, you may find it in the brightly colored sticker on the original CD envelope. Otherwise, check the purchase confirmation email you received from us.

 

You can also log in to your Client Account Management Portal (CAMPs) to retrieve it if the the code is already registered. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to camps.intuit.com and enter your credentials in the field.
  2. In the Products & Services list, find your subscriptions or app. 
  3. Select Details. From there, you'll see your License and product number. 

 

If you didn't register or can't find your product number, you may use our QuickBooks License Look Up tool. Just enter your business email or phone number, and it will be sent to your email. 

 

Keep in touch if you have more concerns. We'll respond as soon as we can.

We'd like to help you out but, like what Fiat asked, we need more details from you.

 

Are you trying to purchase QuickBooks Desktop? Or are you trying to get your product and license codes?

Thanks for chiming in on this thread, @CortJ. I'll help you fix your query so you can upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop Pro seamlessly. 

 

The issue you encounter might be the cause of an incorrect license or product code. You can double-check the email that verified your transaction when purchasing from our website. You can look for your license number and product code from there. If you are unable to find them, you can see them by logging into your customer account maintenance portal (CAMPs).

 

Otherwise, look for the sticker on the original CD envelope if you bought it from a retail store.

 

You can also contact our Customer Care Support Team for further assistance. They can safely have a screen-sharing session and guide you through the best process.

 

Here's how you can reach out to them: 

 

  1. Go to the Help menu, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. Please give a brief description of your issue, then select Continue.
  4. Sign in to your Intuit account and choose a way to connect with us.
