  • Launch the QuickBooks application on the server computer and go to the Employees menu.

  • Tap My Payroll service and click Account/Billing Information.

  • Use your Intuit account details to log in and check your payroll service name.

  • The service name should be correct and marked Active.

  • Click Edit and type the service key correctly.

  • Save the settings and go to the Help menu of your QuickBooks.

  • Click the Activate QuickBooks Desktop option and fill in the details to verify your account.

  • Try downloading payroll updates again after the software is activated.

If the error interrupts the download again, consider the following solution.

This error can also develop if QuickBooks malfunctions while connecting to the internet or processing the update file. You need to download the latest QB tool hub version from the official QB website and use it to rectify the problem as shown in these steps-
