You can probably do that, but you will need to speak with an agent in order to get the download sent to you.

If you're using TurboTax Online:

Sign in to your account (if you aren't already signed in).
Once you're in, select Search in the upper-right corner of your screen.
Select the Contact Us option.
Enter your question and then select Let's talk.
Now choose between:
- Posting your question to our community of experts (Post a question)
- Talking one-on-one with a live TurboTax Expert, CPA, or Enrolled Agent (Get the number) (requires the PLUS add-on if using Free Edition)

What activation code do you have? How did you get it? There is not a code for the online version.

Did you buy the CD or buy the program online from somewhere else? The License Code is for both the CD and the download software.

I think you must have the 14 digit License Code for the Desktop program. You can download it. Try using this FAQ
