How do i use cd without cd drive?

[VolvoGirl]

Where did you buy the CD?  And why did you buy a CD if you don’t have a CD drive?  You could have bought the download.

I was told I could download with a code.  In the the Package it indicated this is true and gives me the following license code for the download.  [product key removed]   I've used product for years but giving serious consideration to moving on

The box gives you download instructions along with the code ... what in the instructions is giving you trouble ?

That's OK – you can download your software directly from TurboTax.

1. Go to InstallTurboTax.com.
2. Set up a TurboTax account if you don't already have one. If you do, sign in. (If you don’t remember your credentials, you can walk through our Account Recovery page to see if you already have an account.)
3. Enter your license code in the pop up window.
   • It’s a 14-character combination of letters and numbers (XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX) that can be found on your CD box insert, envelope, or packing slip.
4. Select your operating system, and select Get Download.
5. Download your software and install.
   • When you get to the Your product is installed, now let's activate it screen, enter your license code in the License code box, and select Continue to complete installation.

If you need help installing, we can help with Windows and Mac .

Yes starting this year 2019 you can download the program when you buy the CD.  The prior answers are several years old.  When they migrated to this new forum layout all the old posts came over with June 2019 dates.  So they are not current info.
