Activation problem for 2025 Turbotax

Hi, 

 

I bought 2025 turbotax Desktop today. I installed on my Windows 11 computer and activated it with the licence code. I registered the software successfully. But, at the next restart of the software, it ask me te activate and register again. Is there a problem with the activation of TurboTax 2025?

 

Thanks.
