Exactly. I got a new Windows 10 laptop without a CD drive. I haven't bought the 2020 program yet so I installed 2019 to test. I downloaded 2019. It installed ok, I activated it and it worked fine.
I moved some test .tax files over using a flash drive. Then when I started 2019 again it asked to activate again. I tried not to panic and just closed it. The flash drive was still plugged in so I took it out and started Turbo Tax 2019 again. It opened and didn't ask to activate! I bet that's why it recently asked me to activate again on my Desktop Win 8 also. I had a flash drive plugged in at the time.
