I STILL DONT HAVE MY ACCOUNT UP AND RUNNING after paying $520.50 .

You bought QB Desktop 2023 Pro Plus for single user, correct? I'm not sure why your price is only $520.5. I suspected that it is the root cause of your license not being processed. You should ask for the refund immediately. If you also need to manage payroll for 20 employees, I would recommend buying QB Desktop 2023 Enterprise Gold over QB Desktop Pro Plus + QB Desktop Payroll. Your total costs will be lower when purchasing licenses (new or renewal) through a partner.
