Thanks for joining this thread, cindyhickman.

If you're encountering Error 3371 in QuickBooks Desktop, there can be a few possible causes:
 

• Could not initialize license properties. [Error: 3371, Status Code -1] QuickBooks could not load the license data. - This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
• Could not initialize license properties. Error 3371: QuickBooks could not load the license data. - This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
• Could not initialize license properties. [Error 3371, Status Code -11118] QuickBooks could not load the license data. - This may be caused by missing or damaged files.
• If you use WebConnect with QuickBooks Enterprise on Right Networks, you’ll see this error if you open the file before you save it. You must first save the file before you import the .QBO file.

I'd initially recommend troubleshooting with your QuickBooks Tool Hub.

Here's how:
 

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version of your
3. QuickBooks Tool Hub. Be sure to save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
4. Open your QuickBooksToolHub.exe file and follow the on-screen steps to install and agree with the terms and conditions.
5. When your installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop screen to open the tool hub.
6. From your QuickBooks Tool Hub, choose Installation Issues.
7. Go to 3371 Error Fix.
8. Select OK.
9. Start QuickBooks and open the data file.

If the error continues displaying, you'll want to try deleting your entitlement data store file. Detailed steps for this process can be found in our Fix Error 3371 - Could not initialize license properties article.
