Need help to activate QuickBooks Desktop 2017 on the new computer with a validation code. Where can I find QuickBooks Validation code

We successfully installed QuickBooks on a new computer as our old computer crashed. Fortunately, we had the latest company file backup and our information is secured. We tried to activate QuickBooks with the Zip code, email address, and business phone number and none of them are working. I am sure that all that information needed to are correct and associated with our QuickBooks account for activation. I wonder, why it isn’t working and needs a Validation Code for QuickBooks activation.

Hello Inder,

Thanks for joining us here in the Community.

I’m glad to help you with the necessary information to help you activate your QuickBooks Desktop. I assume that the copy for QuickBooks Setup has been downloaded from the Internet. Before the setup is downloaded, we normally have to select three values from the dropdowns on the website and those have to be correct. I am sure that probably chose the right version of QuickBooks as you have been using it on the computer that crashed. How about the variants like Pro, Premier or Enterprise and the country?

I have addressed some cases where the people mistakenly chose either the wrong variant or the country. Such wrong selections will definitely conflict with the QuickBooks License and product Number while activating your QuickBooks Desktop. If you are sure you made the right sections before downloading QuickBooks Setup file, I would recommend running QuickBooks Desktop Repair. Most of the times a repair initiative fixes the common QuickBooks installation issues and help you resolve QuickBooks Desktop Activation problems as well.

Hopefully, you will be up and running in no time. By any chance, if you still face problems activating your QuickBooks, you can take look at the article that explains almost everything to help you. Please click on the article placed underneath.
