TurboTax Premier 2025 Activation is looping and won't activate on 2nd device

I installed on PC#1 and activated without any issues. On machine#2 I installed and entered my activation code and I got no error message, but when I run TurboTax it asks me to Activate it again (which I did not do). When I log into my Intuit account it now says I have 2 Activations completed although it is only letting me the 1 on PC#1. 

 

Both machines are Windows 11 64Bit Pro edition.

Machine#1 is running 25H2 and machine#2 is running 24H2. 

 

How do I get machine#2 to run using the 2nd activation code it logged ?

Troubleshooting

Unfortunately, we are unable to reset the activation code limit. You have three installations available per license code. You can still install the TurboTax desktop version on a second device. 

Make sure your Windows is up to date and that you are using an administrator account on your device.

 

If issue presists, I would suggest contacting Product Support.  


Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Troubleshooting

I used an Admin account for the install. I just want the install on the 2nd device to be activated since the activation counter increased (1->2) but the activation did not seem to work as system keeps asking for the activation code each time TurboTax is started.  I will call product support to see if they can resolve the issue. Hopefully this is just a minor reset that needs to be done and not a serious issue. I did the install Sunday so perhaps the servers were under maintenance at the time.

Keep me posted—let me know how it goes. Thanks
