Hello there, @ally1. I'm here to provide information about getting a validation code for an older version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Since your QBDT 2018 version is already discontinued, it's out of our technical support to provide one. Your best option is to gradually upgrade to a currently supported version or purchase a new one.
Moreover, you can access your CAMPS to get your validation code.
- Sign in to CAMPs using your product credentials.
- Locate the 2022 version of QuickBooks.
- Click on Products and Services, then select Details.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to retrieve your validation code.
For more details, please refer to this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.
Additionally, please refer to this article about setting up your company file: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop.
Let us know if you have other concerns with your validation code in QBDT. We're here to help you in any way we can.
