How do I move my QB to a new computer?
Original commenter did not share additional details
I had a message that the license was approved
What do you mean with "approved"? QB Desktop 2016 has been outdated since May 2019. Intuit servers may block your license when trying to reinstall it on a new PC. You will need to contact Support directly by phone to confirm. For now, you can use the trial version.
