Activation Code [Edited]

Question

My Quicken subscription expired, I did not download the new version because I got it cheaper when purchased with turbo tax from a local office supply store.  When I install the new version, the program will not let me enter the activation code and use Quicken.  I had to download a patch to get the program to work again.

Now that Quicken works again, can I enter the activation code then install the new version and get everything working again?

If you purchased a combo TTax and Quicken bundle - 
is there anywhere on the Quicken packaging that indicates FOR NEW QUICKEN USERS 
The Activation Code can really be entered with any recent installed version - 
it merely updates the Quicken subscription & expiration Date...

You may certainly try: select Help > Enter Activation Code...

I suspect the activation code is restricted to new subscribers.  If so, you may need to create a new Quicken ID to use it.  To associate the Quicken file with the new Quicken ID:* Select Edit > Preferences...
* Select Quicken ID & Cloud Accounts
* Select Sign in as a different user
* Enter yes 
* Select Sign Out
* Sign in with the new Quicken ID
