Question

ProSeries 2017 and 2018 unable to validate your online credentials

I was able able to login and work in both of these years for 4-6 weeks until the end of Dec. I had updated both per the recent instructions from Intuit. However, when I tired to make changes to them this week, I cannot login and receive above error. 2019 and forward years are fine. I followed some of the instructions for this error that I found in the Community. Nothing has worked. What should I do? Thank you.

Each year should have the REPAIR UPDATES options listed under them in the Windows Programs/Apps menu.  Thats what I would try first.   I dont have the older years installed here at home, but this is what it looks like for 2021.

If repair updates doesnt fix it and these instructions dont either, then I guess calling support is your next step https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/login-password/unable-validate-online-credentials-error-signing/L5vEQlub2_US_en_US?uid=lr0tuudp

You should find "ProSeries Refresh Updates" under 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ProSeries 2018

Please see my reply to Just Lisa. 

2017 has no repair update option and the 2018 one made no impact. 

I still can't login to 2017 and 2018 after working in both during most of December.
