Reinstalling 2016 R7 now wants to create a Quicken ID

Question

Reinstalling 2016 R7 build: 25.1.7.1 on my new second computer. It is now wants to create a Quicken ID. I have reinstalled it several times in the past - computer up grades, disk failures, etc. - on both computers without problems. I note that your allowed to install on 3 computers. How does it know you've replaced a machine?

Bingo - Thanks a lot.

Since I had the disk from my old Computer 2, just copied the [Registration] info into C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Quicken\Config\Quicken.ini

Also checked Computer 1. Thanks again. -Rob (I'd still be running Q2001 if I could read the CD.)

Too late now since going backwards involves a LOT of work, but all you needed to do was either find a friend with a CD/DVD in their computer or the library and copy the CD to a thumbdrive and install it from there.  You could probably pull it off at BestBuy or Staples on one of their display computers.
