Where did you buy it? There are some unauthorized places selling used License Codes. Like BigHomeTax and some sellers on Amazon.

@VolvoGirl thank you for your rapid response and info. I bought it from Amazon, the seller just says - Sold By: Amazon.com Services LLC - so I'm guessing it is legit. Also, it was fine the whole time I was working on it in April to do my extension, and now, when I got back to it. The trouble started after I did the update. It said it would take five minutes but it took 40.
Thanks for answering!
Weird, today when I tried it, the error message came up again, I clicked "try to log in with another account" (I have three for some reason) the next screen (I don't think I got this far before) said this account uses this code xxxxmynumbers, I clicked on that and I am in. Whaaaa? Might have used one of my activations but I don't care, I am IN!
Sorry I can be more help to other people having this problem, it looks like all the answers I saw were - call tech support. The number is - aww jeez they removed the number but hopefully easy to find.
I have the repro on my compute after upgrade TurboxTax Home & Business 2024, in the evening of 10/06/2025. After upgrading, TurboxTax, it keeps asking me to activate, while I did activate it on Jan 18, 2025. It says 5/5 activation used. Of course, my computer is the first 1 or 2 in the group of 5.
The problem is why the updated version cannot recognize the already-activated status.
fyi, I purchased from Costco on Jan 18, 2025

@sea425a I also bought one from Costco.
From this year 2024-2025, we start to require 4GB mem, right?
Now could we exchange the product key into an IOS code? Do we have some other options to address the problem? Thanks.
