Does the online version have a license code for 2021 version? If so, how do you obtain it?

No.   The license code is only for the CD/download and cannot be used with the online software.   If you use online you simply open an account online and pay the fees.   And be careful---we see people who purchase the CD/download and then they log in to online software by mistake.   If you buy the CD/download you do not "log in" to use it--you open up the program from your own hard drive.

The online versions do  NOT have a license code.  Only the CD/downgraded versions installed on a Windows or Mac computer has a code.
