I installed turbo tax last week and activated with the activation code. I am now on the road for business and I open turbo tax to continue working. I allowed it to update and when it came back on, it asked for the activation code AGAIN!! I did not bring the box with me on the road. I am now stuck with not doing my taxes for another 10 days until I get home and look at the **bleep** box again. That SUCKS! Ive been using turbo tax 10 years and now I am considering dropping it and going with someone else.

Same thing happened to me, only mine wasn't a CD it was a direct download and I am being asked for the license code again after the update on the same computer.  Does that count as installing on another computer each time I have to enter the license code?

I am being asked for the code every time I open the program on my Windows 7 computer and it has now locked me out because it assumes I have installed on 5 different computers already. TurboTax needs to fix this right away. Get on this Intuit!

If I have to connect to the Internet I may as well use the free service from the IRS.

 

Connecting my tax computer to the Internet is evil in so many ways.
