Hello @sjpape,
As much as I'd love to offer help and share how you're able to get the validation needed to activate QuickBooks, we've got separate support who can address this in no time.
That said, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Support. With their tools, one of our specialists can pull up your account on file and get you a new validation code. To do so:
- Go to Help.
- Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
- Click Contact Us.
- Under What can we help you with, select Search something else.
- On the Tell us more about your question field, enter need a validation code.
- Click Search.
- choose a channel where you wish to connect with our specialists.
In addition, here's an article you can read to learn more about when are you able to connect to our support: Contact QuickBooks Products and Services Support.
Lastly, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Help Articles - QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.
