The forner TT2021 R26 was completed on tax due date. Further questions concerning later author revisions of R33 should be discussed here.
I downloaded the patch named w_perrelsuperpatchIS_ttax_2021.330.0101 from the author, installed it onto my TT2021. Then started TT and it open the licensing agreement (usually did not do that before) and I clicked the agreed button and then it proceeded to automatically open TT2021 UI as usual without anything else done. Therefore, R26 fix is still universal and can be re-applied to mitigate any calls for validation.
The original r26 FIX IS HERE:
