Never the less LLuck, I don't believe that Intuit stated that I would have to sign into the Intuit website every time I used their Computer based Quickbooks. I may have given it another thought if they did. Also I have purchased licenses for other products and have never had to sign onto their website before I could use their software (unless specified). The bottom line is, this has caused a lot of grief for many Quickbooks users and wasn't part of program when we all originally purchased it, and should be corrected immediately if not sooner.
