Change a QuickBooks File Path

Modified on Sat, 25 Jul at 11:14 PM

Overview

Use Change Path when the location or name of a QuickBooks company file changes, or when QQube must be reauthorized after a new signed certificate is installed.

Use this option when

  • The QuickBooks company file was moved.
  • The QuickBooks company file was renamed.
  • CLEARIFY advises that QQube must be reauthorized with a new signed certificate.

Use this procedure when the same QuickBooks company file has been moved or renamed.

Instructions for opening the updated QuickBooks company file

Finish the change

Reauthorize a new QQube certificate

Use this procedure only when CLEARIFY advises that a QQube release contains a new digitally signed certificate.

QuickBooks must authorize the replacement certificate before QQube can continue signing in automatically. Without reauthorization, QuickBooks may return errors such as 8004041D, 80040430, or 80040435.
