Error 80040427 - Unregistered QuickBooks | CLEARIFY

Correcting Error Code 80040427

There is an error in the log similar to this:

Cause

This error comes directly from the Intuit Software Development Kit (SDK) and indicates that it thinks that the QuickBooks file is not registered.

There are two possible causes:

1. The copy of QuickBooks is unregistered.   QQube will connect to a QuickBooks file during the QuickBooks 30 day trial period, but once the QuickBooks trial has ended, QQube is no longer able to connect to it.  This might occur when installing the QuickBooks client in a multi-user server installation.
2. Improper port or firewall setting on the server, resulting in QuickBooks not being able to go out and validate the license.

Resolution

Cause 1. Register QuickBooks

Cause 2. Run the QuickBooks utility: "Repair File and Network problems". This will automatically open up the proper ports, etc. and the message should go away.  More information on this QuickBooks utility.
