Hello there, @Eddie.
Let me share insights about software registration and activation for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) products in South Africa (ZA), so you can manage your company files accordingly.
For the time being, we've discontinued our QBDT offering in South Africa. The decision was made to move to a solution that'll allow us to provide the best support to our customers, as well as make the transition from desktop to online as smoothly as possible. You learn more about this by checking out this article: Why can't I move my data from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online?.
Moreover, I can't guarantee the possibility of registering and activating your QBDT (2010) software. With this, I'd recommend contacting the support where you purchase the product to help you with the activation process.
Also, since QuickBooks now only offers the online version, you may want to check out one of our Help pages as your reference to guide you in managing your business growth and transactions with it: QuickBooks Learn and Support. It includes help articles, Community discussions with other users, and video tutorials, to name a few.
If you have other QuickBooks-related concerns, please don't hesitate to comment below. I'm always ready to help. Take care, and have a great day, @Eddie.
