QuickBooks Downloads

I purchased software two hours ago, but haven’t received anything via email. Where is my download?
Per the listing for each downloadable software product we sell, it details the time it takes in which you will receive an email with your license number and download instructions. Some downloadable software takes 1-2 business days to process.

Do you sell QuickBooks in a boxed CD format?
Intuit stopped selling boxed CD’s a few years ago, as the trend in the software industry is moving to purely a digital delivery method. Intuit still provides a “re-install” CD. Please keep in mind, a “re-install” CD is simply a generic disc with a QuickBooks installer (.exe) file on it and does not contain any license information. Also, the download version will many times be the latest version of the software compared to what’s on the CD as there are often updates / patches to the software since the release of the CD.

My QuickBooks software is asking for a validation code. Where do I get one of those?
A validation code for your QuickBooks software can be obtained by logging into your Intuit Online Account or by contacting the appropriate Intuit support department.

I’m having trouble logging into my Intuit Online Account. What do I do?

After logging into my Intuit account, I don’t see any of the products I’ve purchased. What do I do?
Sometimes Intuit licenses do not get properly linked to their associated logins on Intuit’s portal. If this has happened to you, simply contact Intuit support, using one of the Intuit support numbers on this page, with your license number(s), business information (name, address, phone, etc.), and the username of your Intuit account. They will be able to assist you in linking your license(s) to your Intuit account.
