Activation key for TurboTax 2024

zig64 — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:28:27 GMT

I installed and used the 2024 version. I opened the software and it prompted me to update it. It was my mistake. I can't use it anymore. I misplaced my license key.

However, it says the license is active.

Since when does updating the software require entering the key? It was no problem in the past

Please help

Please try the following

Goto C:\ProgramData\Intuit Canada and check for umid file
If umid file exists then open a file "C:\ProgramData\Intuit Canada\tt2024\TTConfig.ini" and enter UseCustomUMID=1 at the end of file
Close and save TTConfig.ini
Restart the TurboTax application
