Solution 1: Check your date and time settings
Close your QuickBooks Desktop.
Right-click the time display on the Windows taskbar, then select Adjust Date/Time.
Check if your date and time settings are correct. If they are, move on to the next solution. If not, continue with the steps 4 to 8.
Select the Date & Time tab, then set the date for the current year.
Select Apply, then OK.
Open your QuickBooks Desktop, then go to Help.
Select Activate QuickBooks, then Begin Activation.
Enter the validation code, then select Next.
You should be able to activate your QuickBooks now. If you get the same error, proceed to Solution 2.
Solution 2: Close all running QuickBooks tasks
A problem with QuickBooks' background processes might be preventing you from activating. Download the QuickBooks Tools Hub and run a Quick Fix to close any open background processes QuickBooks uses. Then, it'll run a quick repair on your program.
In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select Program Problems.
Select Quick Fix my Program.
When the tool finishes, start QuickBooks Desktop, then open your data file and try to activate.
If you still get the error, move on to Solution 3.
Solution 3: Run the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool
If something went wrong when QuickBooks was installed, it could be causing a problem when you try to activate. Run the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool to fix common install issues.
Open the QuickBooks Tool Hub, then select Installation Issues.
Select QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. Let the tool run. It can take up to 20 minutes.
When the tool finishes, restart your computer and start QuickBooks Desktop, then open your data file and try to activate.
