Installing Multiple Copies of TurboTax Premier on Single Computer

I see that in previous years this was not possible. 2023 looks and feels different due to having to login to Intuit/TurboTax as part of the activation process. I think somewhere in the installation/activation process I was asked whether I wanted to activate another license key. But I am at a loss as to how to proceed. I have three copies that I want to use for various family members and could load on three computers but would rather not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry you can only have 1 program installed for each year on the same computer. Why do you need more? Did you buy 3 copies? You only need 1. All the Desktop programs can do unlimited returns and efile 5. And All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. So you could use Deluxe for all. You can install Turbo Tax on 5 computers you own.

And each return is saved in a separate data file so you won't mix them up or overwrite them.

I am doing taxes for multiple family members and each can get a free copy or a very cheap copy through a financial institution where they hold substantial assets. Said copies each comes with a free state download. If I use one copy and buy two states the cost would be $40 times 2 or $80. So I can save about $80 by using three copies. So that is the motivation.
