Hello @AlanC, 

Thank you for reaching out to the Quicken Community. We apologize you are experiencing this issue. To clarify, if you purchased your Quicken from our website (Quicken.com) you should not need an activation code. Could you please attempt to create a new file to override this prompt? 

To do this select File >New Quicken File. 

When you have a moment please attempt the steps above and let us know!

Hi @AlanC ,

Review this FAQ:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7844658/installing-reinstalling-windows-quicken-subscription-editions

You must use the Quicken Installer from your Quicken Account. It does not require Activation.

Hi Paloma,

I tried File/New File, which prompted me to save a second file.

OR should I have replaced the prior file

Nevertheless, I am still getting the prompt for activation code

Will take a look at the links for FAQ after supper
Thanks

After you purchased Quicken from the www.quicken.com website - what did you do ?
Did you then download the software from the Quicken website ?
Sign into Quicken using the EXACT same Quicken ID/email you used to purchase the software ?

hello
spoke to customer support, who advised that I purchased the US version - however I live in Canada- hence I can not use this version. Have received refund. Proper link should be www.quicken.com
