Hello there, paul1234.

 

To get the validation code, you'll need to contact our Customer Care Team during support hours. They can pull up your account and provide you the validation code specific for you.

 

Aside from that, you can start a chat session with our representatives, too. You can use this link for reference: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support.

 

Once you have the validation code, you can already activate the program: Activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

 

Let us know how this goes so we can further assist you. Have a great day!

It looks like you're referring to the validation code, Wildman999.

 

You'll have to contact our customer care support so an agent can provide you with the info. You can check JamesDuanT's links on how you can reach out to us.

 

Once you have the code, you can already install QuickBooks.

 

If you have other concerns, the Community is available 24/7 to help you. Take care!

How do I get a validation code

Hello, Bethpoole. 

 

I'll lay down a few steps to help you get the validation code. 

 

We normally send out the registration details through email. You'll want to check your inbox for the validation code. Alternatively, check out your CAMPS profile: 

 

  1. Go to https://camps.intuit.com/.
  2. Choose your version under the Products & Services section.
  3. Click Details, then look for the validation code. 

 

As what my colleagues have pointed out, you can also get the validation code through our phone agents. They'll securely pull up your product registration details and generate a code for you. 

 

Here's how to reach out to them: 

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. From the Help menu, select QuickBooks Desktop Help
  3. Click the Contact us link.
  4. On the new page, select a topic (such as activate or install QuickBooks). 
  5. Scroll down and click the Have us call you button. 

 

For reference about contact us, you can check this article: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support.

 

After activating QuickBooks successfully, you can start setting up your company file. If you need help, we have a number of help articles to guide you through the processes. 

 

I'm with you in every step of the way. You can ask again in the Community space if you have questions in QuickBooks. I'm here to help.

I am having the same issue. The software tells me to call and the system tells me that I will not get to a person with my question. The chat function seems to be blank. How do i get a validation code? THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!

Good morning, @619199 Chea. 

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread about receiving a validation code. 

 

At this time, the best route would be to contact our Customer Support Team for  further assistance. Since you don't have access to get in touch with them through the system, here's a link that will point you in the right direction: What can we help you with?

 

After using that link, you'll need to answer the questions that follow and enter your question. From there, you'll get these options listed below in the picture:

 

 

Note: Either you'll see support hours telling you to come back between a certain time frame or you'll see the option to chat or request a callback. 

 

Keep me updated on how it goes. I'm only a comment away if you need me again. Best wishes!

How can I get my validation code for my QuickBooks Premier: Accountant Edition 2006?

QBD 2006 is too old and I'm not sure they'd bother to generate any validation code for versions older than 2010 at this time. Consider to upgrade your version and purchase the one time license of it.
