Sharing Turbo Tax Standard

I've been alternating purchasing Turbo Tax Standard with my dad for the last 5-10 years. Buying the software for install. 

 

One person buys the software, and shares the license key with the other, so we can both do our taxes. This year is the first year I've passed the information to him, and the key won't work for him. Are you no longer allowed to install the software on multiple computers? I do see how buying 8 returns linked to one computer makes any sense. The error is that it is already linked to another account. Is this new to 2024 Turbo tax?

No, the license key can be shared. I assume you are downloading the Desktop program. 

 

HERE is a link that explains how that works.
