I feel the same pain guys. I'm done with my tax, but I'm still following up on this thread.
I think a lot of these folks doesn't realize is that that update/activation issue also messed up your installation count. So you can uninstall everything, delete any left over files, etc. By the time you try to re-install and activate it, software is telling you it can no longer be activated because the 5 installation seats has been all used up. Customer service straight up tell you that's because you've installed on more than 5 computers.....
