and I don't think with desktop you can buy deluxe and "upgrade" to premier later?  you have to buy the right s/w version for your needs.

 

check authorized third parties also, it's bigger discount on Amazon etc, see

Here are the steps I followed.

1. Sign out of the product

2. Reactivate the product as if you are installing the software for the first time

3. When it starts, it will ask you to use the Online version. Complete the survey

4. On the menu ribbon, you will see an upgrade product option
