Let me help you get your validation code and register your QuickBooks Desktop, Katherinefle.

I'll personally share your feedback with our Customer Support Team regarding this one. We'll be able to take action on improving our customer service. We normally send out the registration details through email. With that said, you can check your inbox for the validation code. Alternatively, check out your CAMPS profile by following the steps below: 

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. 

Once you have the validation code, you can already activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. 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. You may send a message via chat, call us at a time convenient to you, or we’ll get in touch with you instead. To ensure we address your concern, our representatives are available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Saturdays, PST. See our support hours and types for more details about this one. Here's how: 

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. 

After activating QuickBooks, you can start setting up your company file. Visit our Help Articles page for more insights about managing your business in your software.

Feel free to update us after contacting our support or performing the solutions, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Please reply to this post and I'll get back to you. You have a good one.
