Install TurboTax Premier on 2nd computer without internal CD drive

I bought the CD version and used it to install TT on my Windows PC. I installed directly from the CD--no download. Now I want to download on my Mac (since it doesn't have an internal CD drive). I got the error message about the license code already being associated with an account. Just called TT and was told I can't use the get the download now since I initially used the CD.  Rep said I have to choose--so since I used the CD first, I'm stuck using the CD on other computers. The rep also said I could connect an external CD drive to the Mac and then use that to install from the CD onto my Mac. Is this really correct? Thanks.

I think you talked to the wrong rep.   Try calling in to customer support again.   Your license code allows you to install the software to any computer that you own.  Since you do not have a disk drive on your Mac they should be able to push a download to you.     You will need the download for a Mac.   When you have a disk drive, the CD can be used for Windows or Mac, but when you do not have a disk drive, you need the download that is specific to your operating system.

If they give you a hard time remind them of this:

 

1. Supplemental License Grant and Restrictions.
In addition to the license to Software in the Section A Terms, you may: (i) install and use a copy of the Software on up to five (5) computers owned by you (at home or at work); (ii) use the Software only to prepare, print and/or electronically file your federal 2021 tax year returns and related state tax returns for the applicable tax return year during which you purchased a license to use the Software as described below; (iii) make one backup copy of the Software for your personal use as permitted under this license grant.
