Activate on 2nd Computer

I am having trouble activating Turbotax on a second computer. After downloading the program and logging in with my Intuit account, it shows the license code and 1 of 5 licenses used. However, when I click Activate, it gives Error Code 605.

Any suggestions?

The TurboTax user license allows one user to install copies of TurboTax on up to five computers that the user owns. You can prepare multiple returns, including returns for other people. The license does not allow one copy to be shared among different people. You are required to log into your TurboTax online account when you install the program for the first time. This locks one particular copy of the program and one license code to one user account.

What year? For 2024 or an older year? You can not activate 2020 or prior anymore.
