Thanks for understanding my issue.  I don’t need product updates or online services - I just want to use this discontinued software for personal bookkeeping as I have for the last 15 years.

I cannot click help inside of QB since I am locked out of QuickBooks.  I have called customer support twice - and both phone reps simply say that they can’t help because my product is more than 3 years old.

What is the best way/number to contact support.  And if I am successful in obtaining an activation code, where would I even enter it - since I am past the 30 days and locked out.

I was unable to find anything helpful in the referenced article.
