Joe M. Thank You so much for taking the time to post this. You saved me countless hours of time and frustrations. Words can't express how grateful I am. I had to do it twice but it worked.
I assisted a customer with trouble shooting this error code and it worked. The License code did not match the product...Customer was using TurboTaxDesktop-Business, but the product coming up was TTDesktop-Basic and the Code did not match. Resulting in Error 606
A resolve to the issue is to Check for Windows update> Install any updates that appear **Even when your system auto-updates, some updates are optional and don't update automatically. Without them, they can impact how programs function**.
Reboot System> Uninstall the TurboTaxDesktop program>Re-Install TurboTaxDesktop program again.
The correct product loaded and the customer was able to enter the License Code and proceed.

Thank you @Critter! Your tip solved my problem (13 April 2022) when Intuit proved to be a black hole regarding customer support. In my case, I had ALREADY ACTIVATED my copy of TurboTax but had interrupted my initial "interview" when the TurboTax script asked me to provide W-2 information because my employer has not bothered to provide the information online (despite over 1,000 employees) and I did not have a physical copy of the form in my possession. When I tried to resume with my W-2 form in hand, TurboTax choked immediately after performing an update (which it had already done before) and asked for my activation code. After I provided the activation code (which I had already used to start my return a few days earlier), the TurboTax script rejected the code as invalid. After reading your tip, I ran Windows Update (which supposed ran automatically yesterday) and rebooted which solved my problem.
i have version 10
