Hi there rwlm,

It's vital that you have the correct license information in order to register your QuickBooks Desktop product. QuickBooks Desktop is a great program able to help you manage your books in order to see how well your company is doing financially. I can provide some information about fiding license information.

If you bought QuickBooks Desktop from our website or with one of the members of our Sales team: You can look in your purchase confirmation email to find your license and product numbers. If you have a Quickbooks desktop subscription, the license information is sent to you each fall for the newest version of QuickBooks Desktop by email.

If you bought QuickBooks Desktop from a retail store, you can find the product and license codes on a sticker located on the original CD envelope.

If you're having further trouble with finding that information, I recommend reaching out to the QuickBooks Desktop support team outside of the Community. They'll be able to provide more assistance with finding these codes in order to register your QuickBooks Desktop. You can reach them by the methods provided in the QuickBooks Desktop Support policies.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
