Install the trial version of QB Desktop 2023 Enterprise and run it at the same time with QB Desktop 2023 Pro. Does the same problem also occur on Enterprise?

I'm here to ensure you can work on file seamlessly, HelloNow.

 

I appreciate you for sharing the complete details of your concern. You may encounter such an issue if your data is damaged. Not to worry, we can repair your company file using the Rebuild Data tool. 

 

First, let's download and install the QuickBooks Tools Hub:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
  3. Select the Home tab. The version will be on the bottom.
  4. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  5. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  6. Once done, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

 

Then, let's run Quick Fix my Program. It will close any open background processes QuickBooks uses and run a quick repair on your program. Here's how:

 

  1. In the QuickBooks Tools Hub, select Program Problems.
  2. Select Quick Fix my Program.
  3. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

 

If you still see the error, continue to Solution 2 in this article: QuickBooks Desktop Won't Open.

 

In case you encounter difficulties logging in, you can easily reset your password in QuickBooks Desktop. Doing so ensures you can regain access and start working on your file.

 

My main goal is to ensure this gets resolved. Please keep us posted if you need assistance accessing and managing your books. We're always here to help you out.
