I appreciate you for getting back to us, jhunter2022.
To ensure that the activation code works, you can buy our QuickBooks Desktop product through our phone agents directly. This way, they can guide you on how to install and download the file.
You can contact them through this link: Contact QuickBooks Desktop.
Once done, you can start creating and managing your company files. See this reference to get everything set up: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop. It includes several resources and a user guide to help you get familiar.
I'll be around whenever help is needed.
