I understand your situation with being able to receive a code to access QuickBooks Desktop. I'll do my best to assist you in any way I can. 

 

Were you able to sign in to camps? If not, we will need to sign in to it before I can route you to support to acquire your verification code.

 

 I'll show you how to do it.

 

  1. Go to camps.intuit.com
  2. Sign in with your Intuit Account info. 
  3. If you see multiple products, select QuickBooks Desktop to go to CAMPs.

 

Sign in to Camps you can manage your accounts, products, contacts, billing, and user ID access. It is also the best way to find your license number. See this page for more insights: Change, manage, or update your Intuit account with CAMPs.

 

After that, let's call our QuickBooks Desktop support team; they have tools to access the activation codes. Please refer to these office hours:

 

  • 6:00 AM-6:00 PM Monday-Friday
  • 6:00 AM-3:00 PM Saturday

 

My priority is to help you and provide accurate solutions to your QuickBooks Desktop concerns. Keep safe.

I downloaded my purchase of QG Enterprise Gold Edition and got as far as the Activation.  I've taken the steps you suggested and of course this is Sunday so I guess no one is available to help me get an activation code.  This is so frustrating as I had to do this on the weekend so it doesn't interfere with my clients during the week.  Right now is Tax Season and of course it's a very busy time for us all!   Is there any way I can get the activation code on a Sunday?  I saw you were on here today also, so was hoping I could get this up and running.

Please let me know.  [email address removed]

Use the trial version as a workaround. You have to chat with Support team to get the activation code during their business hours.

You have to chat with Support team to get the activation code during their business hours. Make sure you can login to CAMPS as the Primary Contact and find your license code there before contacting Support team.

You have to chat with Support team to get the activation code during their business hours. Your QBD 2012 is too old. If they refuse to provide the activation code, you can use the trial version as a workaround.
