How to remove the activation screen in Turbotax (TT) 2023 US version: (See down below for unlimited states and no efiling fees.) 1. Install TT and install the latest updates during setup. When you re-start TT you will see the activation screen. Close TT. 2. Navigate to the TT installation folder: Default folder is “C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Individual 2023\32bit”. Copy the “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll” file, and save it somewhere as a backup. NOTE: if you save anything in the TT folder, you will likely see a pop-up window indicating access denied. Just click continue whenever this happens. 3. Download dnSpy program for modifying DLL files - Google "dnspy" and select the github search result. - Scroll down a little and click on the large "Latest release" link - Click on "dnSpy-net-win64.zip" (or the win32.zip version) 4. Extract the dnSpy program files from the zip file. These are stand-alone files. No installation is required. 5. Right click on dnSpy.exe and open as admin. The very first step when starting dnSpy is to make sure there is NOTHING in the left hand column by clicking the File tab, then Close all. Now, select File > Open. Navigate to the TT 32bit folder (ref. step 2), select “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll” and click Open. If you do not see the “Assembly Explorer” column on the left side then open it: View > Assembly Explorer NOTE: You must open/edit the "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll" while it is in the 32bit folder otherwise compiling in later steps will fail with errors! 6. Expand the following in the Assembly Explorer: -Click on “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service” -- Click on “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll” (purple font) ---- Click on “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.ProductConfiguration” (yellow font) ------ Click on “ProductConfigurationService” (blue font) 7. Below the “ProductConfiguationService” look in the red-orange items for “IsProductActivationRequired”, right click on it and choose "Edit Method (C#)…". Do NOT choose “Edit Class (C#)…”. 8. An “Edit Code” window will open. Around line 17 within the code, find the line that starts with “if (ProductConfigurationService...” and delete this line and all the following lines all the way down to the line directly above the one that begins with “return false;” (around line 29) (Do NOT delete any lines above line 17). Delete by clicking and dragging the mouse on the line numbers to highlight these lines. Then press the delete key or Ctrl-X to remove them. 9. The last 6 lines of the “IsProductActivationRequired” code should now look like this (spacing within each line may look different compared to actual code but that does not matter; extra blank lines won't matter either): public bool IsProductActivationRequired() { return false; } } } 10. At the bottom of the window, click "Compile" and the window will close. If the compiler shows errors, click the "Cancel" button and check the code again. You can also exit DnsSpy (without saving) and return to step 5 to start the editing again. NOTE: if you have trouble using dnySpy, one suggestion is to select File > Close All to start over again. 11. Still in Assembly Explorer, find the item called “IsSupport“ which is directly below “IsProductActivationRequired”, right click on “IsSupport“ and choose "Edit Method (C#)…". Do NOT choose “Edit Class (C#)…”. 12. An “Edit Code” window will open. Around line 21 within the code, find the line that shows “bool result = false;” and delete this line and all following lines all the way down to the line directly above and not including the one that shows “return result;” (around line 80) (Do NOT delete any lines above line 21). Delete by clicking and dragging the mouse on the line numbers to highlight these lines. Then press the delete key or Ctrl-X to remove them. 13. Now change the line “return result;” to “return true;” (don’t forget the semi-colon) 14. The last 6 lines of the“IsSupport” code should now look like this (spacing within each line may look different compared to actual code but that does not matter; extra blank lines won't matter either): private bool IsSupport() { return true; } } } 15. At the bottom of the window, click "Compile" and the window will close. If the compiler shows errors, click the "Cancel" button and check the code again. 16. In the main window of dnSpy, select File > Save Module. Click “OK” in the Save Module window that opens. Save elsewhere or replace the orig file and if successful, do File-->Close all. See below for unlimited states and no efiling fees. If an access error occurs just close the “Save Module” window, select File > Save Module again and in the Save Module window, find the “Filename” line and select a location outside of the TT folder to save the file. Keep the same filename as the original. 17. Do this step only if you had an access error in step 16 and had to save the modified “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll” file to a different location. Close the dnSpy program, rename the “Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.dll” file in the TT 32bit folder and copy the new, modified file saved in step 16 to the TT 32bit folder. Run TT and you should not see the Activation window anymore. Continue with step 19. 18. In dnSpy, do File-->Close all. X and Close the dnSpy program. Run TT and you should not see the Activation window anymore. 19. In TT you can change the TT product via the menu: Help > Switch product (choices are Basic, Deluxe, Premier, H&B, Biz) (27 January, 2024 - 09:06 AM)zax2004on Wrote: Show More How to remove the activation screen in Turbotax (TT) 2023 US version: (See down below for unlimited states and no efiling fees.) 1.
