When we purchase a new subscription at Quicken.com, the new subscription is activated at the time of purchase and associated with the Quicken ID we provided. When we purchase a subscription from a retailer, the subscription we purchased is not activated because the retailer does not know the Quicken ID to associate with the subscription. Instead the retailer provides us with a unique activation code that may only be used once and is good for about two-years after the activation code is generated. Until we provide an activation code with a Quicken ID to Quicken, the subscription can not start. We may activate a subscription by providing the activation key after signing in at Quicken.com or when we use the Quicken program. Never attempted to activate until my Q Deluxe expired about April. Been using Quicken for 20+ years but support has disintegrated over time, especially after the new ownership, IMO.
