Previous step: Step 7: Verify Your Return

To submit, print, or Auto-fill your return, you must purchase and enter a license key in the software. You can submit, print, and Auto-fill the same return as many times as needed without requiring additional licenses. However, if you change the business number and/or the tax year-end, the software treats it as a different return and a new license will be required.

Purchase a License Key for Your T2 Software Version

Ensure that you purchase a license key specifically for your version, as license keys are version-specific. A license key purchased for a T2 version will only work with that T2 version. For example, a license key purchased for version 2025.2 will only work with version 2025.2. In addition, unused licenses cannot be transferred to a different version.

Follow the steps below to complete your purchase form.

Note: This tutorial uses version 2025.2 as an example. The form layout and fields may vary depending on the version you are purchasing.

1. Read and understand the notes.

   

2. Select the number of licenses that you wish to purchase. In this example, one return is being filed, so a 1-Tax-Return license key will be purchased.

   

3. Choose your payment method. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Interac e-Transfer. By default, the option for Visa, Mastercard, and American Express is selected. If you are sending the e-Transfer from Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), also include the email address where the license key should be sent. Please ensure the e-Transfer amount includes applicable tax.

   

4. Confirm the following by checking the checkboxes.

   

5. Enter your Software ID in the text box provided. For help on finding your Software ID, see Finding Your Software ID.

   

6. Click Purchase.

   

After you complete your purchase, the license key will be sent to the email provided in the purchase. Then, you can copy the license key and enter it in the software.

• If the software is not open: Start the software and, in the Start Screen, click Enter License Key.

  

• If the software is not open: If the software is open, go to the top menu, and navigate to Help > Enter License Key.

  

Then, enter your license key in the textbox provided.

Click OK to save your license key.
