Confusing TurboTax repeated activation

Downloaded and installed TT Premium for Windows. Started TT Premium, TT goes through latest update download. Then TT asks for activation license code. Enter code TT starts. So far no problem, functioning as  expected.

 

Here are the issues:

1) Activation:      Work on tax return. Get so far then save file. Next day start TT. TT opens with the usual delay statement and if no downloads asks for activation. WHY is TT asking to activate again? Previous answer posted in Jan 2026 is ridiculous. If I stop work on tax return, save file, close TT, and later that day re-start TT to resume work on tax return, TT does not ask to be activated. Repeat, TT does not ask to be activated.

 

TT is an installed app for Windows and should behave the same as other installed apps. They don't ask to go through activation every time you start them. 

 

2) License Accounting:     Looking at the picture, you see TT is now active on 2/5 installs or machines. How can this be when TT was only installed on this 1, repeat 1 desktop? Will this count just keep increasing until TT runs out of license depth? This is obviously a TT error and should be corrected.

 

Yet, update after update, these 2 issues do not get fixed.
