I activated/entered all of my info into TT 2019 months ago. Ready to file now. Asking me to activate my key again. Tried all 4 methods posted on the website. What now?

This is really annoying.  If I "activate" the key over and over again, I will run out of the 5 activations.  What do I do?  You can get through the automated system to actually talk to someone.  I've used TurboTax for decades and this has never happened.

Did you see this Support Article?

Turbo Tax asks for the License Code each time you start

Also try this.  A user reported this worked for him/her:

• Close TurboTax.
• Right-click on your desktop TurboTax icon, and choose Properties.
• In the Properties popup, go to the Compatibility tab.
• Place a checkmark for "Run this program as administrator."
• Click Apply and OK/Save.
• Launch TurboTax, and see if it still asks you to activate.

Yes.  That was implied in my subject line, "Tried all 4 methods posted on the website."

I've tried all of the recommended fixes listed by Turbo Tax and none worked.  I also tried this person's "run as administrator" steps.  It didn't work either!

Now what?
