How to activate your Quicken membership

For a video walkthrough, see below:

Purchases from Quicken.com

When you purchase a Quicken subscription from Quicken.com, your purchase requires that you create a Quicken ID, or use your existing Quicken ID. This Quicken ID is associated with your subscription membership, so your purchase from Quicken.com activates your subscription. No activation code is necessary.

1. Install and launch Quicken.
2. Sign in using the same Quicken ID and password that you used to purchase Quicken.

       3. After you sign in with your Quicken ID, you can begin using Quicken.

Purchases from a retailer (not Quicken.com) – a boxed version or download

1. Install and launch Quicken.
2. Follow the steps to sign in or create a new Quicken ID.
3. Click Begin Activation to start the process of activating your membership. 

4. Enter your activation code. The 16-digit activation code can be found on the card inside your CD box, or, if you purchased a download, in your order confirmation email:

5. After you enter the activation code, click on the Continue button. Your membership is now activated.
