Hi,
I missed this response initially. I do use a USB key every so often so I don't recall if I had it in or out when I installed TT2023. I've put the same key in and taken it out, nothing seems to alter the activation code request.
I didn't think of the Windows Update, which I did. There was one update KB2267602 a Defender update, but after shutting down and restarting several times, and rechecking updates, still ask for activation code. Sigh. Thanks!
