I have my download license number

The license code is that 16-digit code---there is no other "TurboTax code" that you need.

I purchased turbotax for 2021 taxes back in December and I have lost my activation code to move it to my recent installation of macOS Big Sur. I had it loaded on an external SSD Drive loaded with MacOS Catalina. How do I retrieve that activation number from my Catalina implementation of Turbo Tax?
