Thanks for the link. We'll give it at try.
And yes to the others who replied, my son is speculating that someone else illegally fabricated a made-up code trying to install the program multiple times before he installed the program on his computer, and they got lucky. Buying a CD does include instructions for either installing the program from the CD itself, or signing into your Intuit account and downloading it that way. In my son's case, both efforts failed as it was the license code printed on his CD package that was already in use by someone else. I think my days of buying Intuits packaged software are over given this new vulnerability.
I also do not believe the license allows me to put the software on multiple computers I own. How TT will verify that is a mystery. All the instructions say is that the program allows for 5 federal e-files. That is not the same as installing the software on 5 computers.
