Hi, westerntype.

Error PS036 indicates a problem verifying your payroll subscription. To fix this, let’s try to do the following steps:

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Account Maintenance.
2. Close the payroll maintenance page and reboot your computer.
3. Download the updates again.
4. Update QuickBooks to the latest release again.  

If the issue persists, I’d recommend following the last part of this article:  https://community.intuit.com/articles/1797074.
