    You don't unless you find the original piece of paper or the email that you received it on.

    BUT, you only need the activation code ONCE to authenticate the purchase on the Quicken.com website. Once it is used, it is useless since you will be able to log into the Quicken website and download the installation program from there.

    Hello @HowardSpindel,

    Did you purchase a box or a download from a 3rd-party retailer for your Quicken Subscription? If you purchased a box, you would need to check the card inside your Quicken box which contains the activation code (see example below).

    If you purchased a download, then it would be in your order confirmation email.

    Also, if it was a Best Buy purchase, then the activation code would be printed on the bottom of your receipt and sent to your email if you provided your email address at the time of purchase. 

    Once entered into the program, you cannot see which activation code you used from within the program. However, if you attempt to re-enter a code that was previously used, the code will not be accepted and the program will let you know that the code is invalid/has already been redeemed.

    I hope this helps!

    As specified in the question, I want to know what my current activation code is.

    I have multiple cards with activation codes on them. Need to figure out which one is in use.

    Thank you for the follow-up @HowardSpindel,

    I'm glad to hear Quicken Support was able to assist you with this!

    Quicken Support has access to tools that we on the Community cannot access, which is why what was not possible here was possible for them.

    Thank you!
