Delete damaged EntitlementDataStore.ecml file to resolve license and registration issues
Installation of QuickBooks Desktop requires you to enter a license number and a product code to complete the validation process. If the encrypted file containing the information is damaged, QuickBooks will not open and might display an error message. In those situations, deleting the entitlement file and re-entering your license and product information will help resolve the issue.
The following are issues and errors that can be resolved by deleting the entitlement file*:
- "Error: The validation code is incorrect or the service is temporarily unavailable when activating."
- "Error 3371: Could not initialize license properties."
- "Message: You cannot use Online Banking because QuickBooks is not registered."
- "You must subscribe to accountant's copy file transfer service" appears after you subscribe and sync.
- Error re-configuring your edition of QuickBooks.
- Sync License Data Online is grayed out and unclickable.
- Edit List link is not in No Company Open window
Note:Â This list is not inclusive. There may be other errors resolved by renaming/deleting the entitlement file.
*Deleting the entitlement file for these errors is only part of the troubleshooting. Please perform all recommended steps for each error to ensure resolution.
