You don't have to purchase a QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) subscription again, @bcar9. Just make sure that your product and license info are ready.
Since the hard disk drive of the previous computer crashed, you can't use the Migrator Tool. However, you can manually reinstall QBDT without using the tool. Let me walk you through:
Moreover, please note that it doesn't move your company files from the previous computer as they must be copied to the new location separately. Here's an article for the complete process: Move your company files to another computer.
Additionally, if you have created a backup copy of your company file, you can simply restore it to the new computer to reinstate your accounting data back to the program.
If you need further assistance reinstalling QBDT on your computer, don't hesitate to mention me in the comment section below. I've got your back and am always happy to help. Have a good one!
