I want to use QuickBooks Pro 2008 on my new laptop.  I installed it (from the original disk I own, with the product key and license number).  I used it successfully for 30 days, but am now locked out because I cannot register it.  I called QuickBooks twice.  Both phone reps said they could not help me because the product is more than 3 years old.

This does not make sense,  I own the program - and do not require any kind of support or updates for the purposes I am using it.

I have it successfully installed and working on my desktop pc (where it has been working for years) - but I need it to also work on the new laptop, because I am traveling.  I have used Quickbooks for 27 years, and rely on this program - but don’t need an expensive subscription or upgrade.  I just need the 2008 version to work on my laptop.  Help?  (I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program - but this does not reset the registration timer.  I am still blocked from access),
