license key issue

[julianjlo]

Dear sir/madam:

    My friend bought a turbotax 2023 CD from Costco and shared with multiple people including me. When I loaded the software and typed in license key code, somehow the error massage shows it does not work. I triplcheck and the code is correctly entered. Not Sure if this issue related to different user accounts my friend and I use.  

Thanks

Sorry but you have never been able to share the CD.  The license is that you can install it on 5 computers you own.  They are now enforcing it more by tying it to an online account.
