In early 2022 I purchased the TurboTax -2021 Premier CD and installed on my new HP laptop running Windows 10 — same as I did in many previous years. I input some preliminary income data and then in April printed my request for a filing extention. Few months later I upgraded to Win 11. Then when I tried to run TT to do some serious work on my taxes, the program would not activate even after carefully entering my license code several times; it showed only Error Code 630. I called TT/Intuit and the tech could not get my installed program to activate. He sent me a free TT download and together we were not able to activate that program either; the same error code 630 appeared. In following days, this process was repeated with other TT techs, but none of them could get a new downloaded program to activate; same error code always appeared. Finally I had to settle for using a free version of TT online, which was a pain in the butt and extremely unsatisfactory way to prepare my tax return.
Question:  What can I do to make my TT-21 program actually activate?  And if it does activate, will I be able to download/retrieve my 2021 data from TT online?  If I cannot accomplish that, then I will not purchase TT-2022, and instead I will need to switch to an alternative tax software.
