Reasons
You’ll mostly run into this runtime error while opening your QB desktop or downloading the latest updates. The potential reasons for the development of this QB launch issue are discussed below-
QuickBooks cannot access the license and product info file due to a lack of folder permissions.
The file containing the license and product details has been damaged and fails to run when QBDT starts.
QuickBooks cannot activate due to network timeout caused by internet connection issues.
Solutions
You cannot run QBDT efficiently on your PC as this error code pops up whenever you launch the software without fixing the issues. Some easy methods to remove the runtime error blocking the QB launch are mentioned below-
Solution 1- Arrange the %temp% folder permissions on your computer
The %temp% folder in Windows is used by the PC applications to store their temporary files, which are required when the application runs. Instead of searching the whole HDD for the files, applications can easily retrieve them from the %temp% folder. QuickBooks also stores its files in the folder and might face problems if it cannot access its files. You’ll see this error code when you launch your QB and the software fails to access the license file stored in the %temp% folder. You can easily tackle the issue by configuring the %temp% folder permissions as mentioned in the following steps-
Open the file explorer and go to the search bar at the top-right.
Type ‘%temp%’ in the search bar and open the folder location from the search results.
Right-click on the black space inside the folder and click the Properties option.
Navigate to the Security tab and choose your Windows account in the list.
Single-tap on the account and click the Full Control checkbox to allow all the permissions to your account.
Save the settings and open QuickBooks.
If the software launch is blocked by the error again, move to the next solution.
