Hi all. As I have transfer to a new laptop, thus I want to transfer my QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2017 license from my existing laptop to a new laptop. However, upon clicking on "Begin Activation", it keeps struck at the loading page. Tried pinging the support but they are currently unavailable. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi JamesM4.

 

I tried with QuickBooks Tools Hub as well but it is still the same. Uninstalling and re-installing the software still the same. May I check if there is any specialized way of resolving this issue? Thanks.

You need to chat Support and ask the activation code. If they refused to help, you have to buy a new license to upgrade your version or use the trial version as a workaround.
