Methods to tackle QuickBooks error message 3371

Your QuickBooks might instantly crash and terminate all the accounting tasks after this error emerges. The useful techniques to prevent this activation issue from developing again on your QB are mentioned below-

Solution 1- Launch QuickBooks after fixing the %temp% folder permissions

%temp% folder is used by Windows to store the temporary files of the PC applications required when they run or download the updates. The applications can readily access their program files from the %temp% folder instead of searching them in the HDD again and again. QuickBooks can run into issues if the %temp% folder permissions do not allow it to access the files inside. You need to arrange the %temp% folder permissions correctly using the following steps to ensure the error doesn’t arise again-

1. Go to the search panel and type ‘%temp%.’
2. Visit the folder location from the search results and right-click anywhere inside the folder.
3. Select the Properties option in the list and move to the Security tab.
4. Go to the User Accounts section and choose your account from the pre-available list.
5. You can either mark all the permissions individually or click the Full Control checkbox.
6. Close the %temp% folder Properties window and try activating your QuickBooks.
