I have taken over for the last part of this year as our Elementary School's PTO Treasurer as our previous one move out of state. Now I am trying to install Windows Quicken 2017 I got from the previous Treasurer onto my PC and when I try to open up the data file the software asks for an Activation Code. As far as I can tell from the CD box, CD, and quicken data file there is no activation code. How do I go about getting an Activation Code for this version of Quicken to use for our PTO?

Hi jfkpto,
Your best bet would be to contact the previous treasurer and get information on the account he set up when he installed Quicken originally. Also keep in mind that the license and the related ability to use online services on the Quicken 2017 version will expire on April 30, 2020. However, it is also possible that for a PTO, the download function may not be needed.

If you're using a Canadian product, you should associate a Quicken ID with an active subscription with the data file: https://www.quicken.com/support/im-unable-change-quicken-id-when-signing0
