I have a 2021 version of TurboTax. In this version, there is no method IsProductActivationRequired() : bool
Has anyone tried hacking this one?

I managed to hack it to work, however, I have the basic (Individual) version from Demonoid and I don't know how to switch to the Home and Business version. I tried the options on the "Help" menu to get it to switch, but it doesn't switch to the Home and Business version. Does anyone know?
Here is how I hacked it:
Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.Startup
(Edit C# Class)
> _productActivated: private bool _productActivated -> Try changing this to private static bool _productActivated = true;
... then you will get a compile error when you click the "Compile" button.
(Edit C# Methods)
> get_ProductActivated -> Try changing this to always return true;
> set_ProductActivated -> Try changing this blank;
Compile + Save Module + Exit dnSpy
Then, when TurboTax 2021 is launched, it still brings up the Activation Window:
Type any garbage for the 16-character license code and click the "Activate TurboTax" button.
You will get a message saying, "The license code you entered is not valid. Error code: 607"
Just click the "X" on the top right of the window to close it, and TurboTax starts, seems like it activated!
Hi, thanks very much for the instructions. I'm very happy that someone got this working and would very much appreciate some assistance. Is there anyway you can be more precise with the guide's instructions? First, "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.Startup" doesn't show any of the options in your instructions, but I'm assuming you're talking about Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll." Second, there's no such "productActivated" so I'm assuming you're referring to "ProduchActivationService?" Third, what to do after the "Compile" error? The only other option is to hit the "Cancel" button which makes no sense even going through this since it doesn't even save the progress, but undo everything already done. Thanks again.
