Ok, so in this case... my process was fine and the code was linked and should have worked. It didnt work because i got scammed by BIG HOME TAX. They are not an authorized retailer. So, just because you get the error code 605 it does not mean you did anything wrong in your process. I know that i didnt. I just got scammed and BIG HOME TAX sold this product to multiple users. When i went to install on my mom's pc, it would not activate even though it was the right code and only the 2nd install. So, only buy from authorized retailers and do not assume you did anything wrong... except for the buying the product step!
