The license code is only used on the software you purchased to install on your personal computer. During installation of the TurboTax program you will be asked to provide the license code.

@warnow Are you trying to enter the License Code into the Online version? You can’t. You need to download and install the Desktop program.

It is for the Desktop Download program. Do you have a full Windows or Mac computer?
