Quickbooks migration failed unexpectedly
I'm attempting to move Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020 from one SSD to another SSD in the same computer. I booted from the old SSD (Windows 1903), ran the migration procedure to write the migration files to a flash drive, then booted from the new SSD (Windows 20H2) and attempted to run the Move_Quickbooks.bat file from the flash drive. The progress indicator spins for a moment, then the migrator puts up a dialog saying "Quickbooks migration failed unexpectedly."
Similar posts propose just installing a new Quickbooks on the new computer (for me, it's a new SSD), then moving the company file over, but I'm using the last available seat on a client's license (I'm a developer), so I need to transfer the license to the new SSD. I assume the migration tool does that, but as I mentioned, it won't run.
Any thoughts on getting the migration tool to run or, failing that, de-authorizing the license on one SSD and re-authorizing it on the new SSD?
