Quickbooks asking to renew a subrcription that is popping up in error

I keep getting a pop-up every morning that is telling me that my subscription has expired and I need to renew it.  The problem is that we have a monthly subscription that is current.  The countdown is now down to 9 days.  If I try to click renew, I get a fatal error and QB shuts down.  I have been ignoring the pop-up by hitting the cancel button, but I am concerned about what will happen in 9 days.  I spoke with the help desk and they had no idea why this was occurring.  Has anyone else had this issue recently?

You should chat Support again and ask them to escalate to their Billing team. If they refuse, consider to cancel your subscription and purchase a new one through select partner. You'll get a perpetual discount on renewal and will get more support with billing issues.

Our license status is showing as current.and active.  We pay monthly on the last day of the month, which is more than 9 days from now.

I can see the urgency of getting this fixed, ncgross. No worries, I can help you figure out what's causing this issue and get past it.

 

Data file or program issues are the common cause of the crashing problem. How QuickBooks interacts with your system is another reason.

 

To fix it, all we need to do is perform the repair process. Please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Control Panel on your computer.
  2. Select Programs and Features (or "Add or Remove Programs").
  3. Locate QuickBooks in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and choose Repair.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to repair the QuickBooks installation.

Also, always be aware to update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release version as it becomes available to ensure you have all the updated components.

Our problem has not been solved.  This is happening on both company files used only on my laptop and company files hosted on Right Networks.  The number of days do not even match as we have only 1 subscription license.

JaeAnnc,

 

Thanks for your response.  I spoke with the QB help team last week before I posted my question.  They had no idea why this is occurring.  I have also logged into CAMPS and we are up to date with our account and it shows as active.  Is there a different support team that I could contact? (removed)

I appreciate your patience, @ncgross. Allow me to route you to the appropriate support to ensure this error will get fixed. 

 

As per the screenshot you provided, your account is still active. The error you received was just a warning that your subscription will expire within the given days. 

 

However, since you can't successfully renew your subscription, the best option we have is to contact our support team again, for they have the necessary tools to resolve this issue. We can do this by following the steps my previous colleague has provided.

 

On the other hand, you can directly contact our support team through their contact number if you need prompt assistance or visit this article for more reference on how to reach them: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support.

 

Moreover, you can check out these articles that can help you learn how to download the latest QuickBooks Desktop with your subscription and what to do when your subscription expires:

Respectively that is not a fix. We are a 20+ instances of Quickbooks and have two users with this same problem. We run Quickbooks Enterprise and recently moved to the latest version of Quikbooks in the hopes that this problem would go away, but that no happen.  That error message seems to be a generic message for something going wrong with licensing.

I called support again and spoke to someone knowledgeable.  The error somehow occurred because our product # did not match up with our license #.  It was diagnosed when we got an error running "Sync License Data Online".  The intuit advisor changed our license # and then had us download a new copy of QB Enterprise.  This fixed our problem.  Don't forget to run an update to get to the current release.

I'm here to ensure that this will be addressed promptly, @HG27. At the same time, direct you to the team that can assist you in fixing the error you're facing.

 

If you have multiple computers on the same server, it sometimes causes errors when working with QuickBooks Desktop. That's why, let's troubleshoot this by syncing your license data. I'll guide you on the step-by-step process of doing this.

 

Firstly, let's see how many user licenses you have. To do this, here's how: 

 

  1. Press F2 on your keyboard to open Product Information in your QBDT.
  2. In the User Licenses tab, check out all the listed numbers.
  3. Repeat the process for each computer.

 

Once done, let's try syncing your license data. 

 

If you sync online, do this.

 

  1. Head to the Help menu.
  2. Click Manage My License and Sync License Data Online so you can update your new license details.

 

If you choose to do this manually, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Select Manage My License and Buy Additional User Licenses.
  3. Write the exact validation code you obtained when you purchased your additional license.

 

For reference, check this article: Add a user license to your QuickBooks software.

 

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our support team. They have the necessary tools and expertise to help you resolve the issue and can further investigate the root cause of this. To contact one, please follow the steps below.

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
  3. Click Contact Us, then enter a brief description of your concern.
  4. Hit Continue and sign in to your Intuit account.
  5. Choose Chat with us or Have us call you.

To solve the problem, it took a few calls to Intuit and we finally found someone to help.  It indeed was an issue with syncing our license.  The produce # and license # somehow got out of sync.  We had to delete our QB program and re-download it to solve the problem
