QB Enterprise Freezes and Crashes Frequently When Multiple Users Are In The File

Hey there, @MariaA.

Thanks for visiting us here in the Community. I'm here to help fix the issue you're getting when multiple users are using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise.

Before we proceed with the troubleshooting steps, it is important to know the necessary system requirements. This will ensure that QuickBooks is compatible with your setup and will help avoid problems when you start using the program.

Now, if you're getting this specific error message "You have exceeded the maximum number of users", you need to follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

Here's how:

1. On the affected workstation, go to Help, then select Manage My License.
2. Choose Sync License Data Online several times in a row until the number of user licenses displays correctly.
3. Restart the affected computer.

Once done, please have the users log back into the company file.

my qb is freezing when two or three people are on same time

Hi there, @SpecialEvents.

Thanks for reaching out to us. I’d like to add to this discussion and help you get this freezing behavior sorted out.

Have you already checked the steps given above? If so, and you’re still having the same issue, I suggest performing the following solutions to resolve the problem.

Let’s start by downloading the QuickBooks Refresher Tool. This ends QuickBooks processes running in the background and performs a mini repair on the program. Here’s how:
1.    Close QuickBooks Desktop.
2.    Download the QBRefresher Tool.
3.    Once the download completes, save the file on your desktop.
4.    Run the tool.
5.    Re-open QuickBooks.
 
If you continue to get the same result, proceed to the next recommended step which is to use the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. This automatically diagnoses and fixes problems with Microsoft components that the program uses.
1.    Download the QBInstall Tool.
2.    Save the file to the local Desktop.
3.    Close all open programs and run the tool.
4.    After running the tool, restart your computer,
