Hi there, virgo.

 

Let's make sure to sort this out so you can go back to working in your company file. 

 

This error would show up if your QuickBooks license has been unregistered for more than 30 days of using it. When that happens, the system will lock the company file to make sure that the one using the it is an authorized user of the license.

 

Let me share these steps on how to register your software:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Go to the Help menu, then select Activate QuickBooks Desktop.
  3. Follow the steps on the screen to verify your info.

 

You can also read more details about this here:
