@taxtammer You are confused. And....you are giving a website for Canada returns. This is the user forum for U.S. returns--not for Canada.
For help with Canadian taxes, please post your question in the Canada TurboTax user forum., at the following link.

Users do not use a license code to use online TurboTax. The license codes are used only for desktop download software.
Online TurboTax is web-based---you use it by logging in your online account. With online TT you get one return per fee. Online software can only be paid for on your online account site or by choosing to pay your fees from a federal refund. Each return needs its own account and user ID. Returns are stored in your online account.
Desktop download software must be downloaded to your own hard drive; you use it from your own hard drive, and store your return on your own hard drive. With desktop download, you must go to your online account to enter your license code, but once you have done that, you work from your own computer. You pay for desktop download before you can get the license code or use it. Desktop software can be purchased from Intuit or from various retailers such as amazon, Costco, Sam's, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.
