How can I learn the license code from an installed TurboTax 2018? (I might want to re-install it later but lost the original packaging.)

I want to uninstall it now but might need to re-install it in the future.

There is not a License Code for 2018 and prior.  The License Code is new starting with the 2019 programs.  Just install 2018 the same way you did originally either from the CD or download.

Maybe "license code" was the wrong term.  Is there no serial number, installation key, etc. for 2018?  I don't want to uninstall the program until I'm sure I can re-install it later.
