Quicken Home and Business 2012 on Windows 10 registration
I have been successfully using Quicken Home and Business 2012 on my Windows 10 PC for several years but due to a corrupted windows installation have had to reinstall Windows 10. Now Quicken Home and Business 2012 throws up error messages when it tries to re-register the CD key.
Does anyone know the solution? I am running it as administrator in compatibility mode for Windows 7. I do not know if it is a .net framework problem or something else.
Seems to be identical to this problem (but the solution was never divulged) here discussed earlier on this forum https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:skBgHIvyJwEJ:https://community.reckon.com/discussion/7969474/quicken-2012-upgraded-from-7-to-10-and-wanted-activation-again-but-quicken-crashes

Hi @Frank111
My immediate thought would be to perform a clean uninstallation/reinstallation now that the operating system has been reinstalled.
However, can I just confirm the process you are going through within the software to register your key.

It is all a full clean install and the first thing you have to do upon starting up the Quicken program is put in the CD Key. I do that, it goes to contacting the activation server, then it throws an error and gives you the option of sending a report, then closes the program.
However I now have the program working. While the automatic renewal over the internet when on windows 10 is broken. I found out by not being connected to the internet it gives me a choice of manual registration over the telephone. The program gives a long series of letters and numbers, and giving that to the helpdesk, they gave me a code to put in and it automatically activates.

Thanks Frank111 for your informative suggestion. I have Quicken Personal Plus 2012, and have just built a new PC with a new WIN10 install, and had an Error code just like you. Your trick of pulling the ethernet cable to force the software to give you a precious phone number, and a window to complete the activation process, is simple, but it works! Also the support agent in India was very helpful and positive in his outlook during these covid times.
