Hello there, @CrissyKoger.

 

You can delete the Entitlement Data Store file on your computer. I can provide more details about this and help you.

 

When QuickBooks won't open, it's sometimes caused by a damage in the information on your file. You can resolve this by deleting the EntitlementDataStore.ecml file.

 

Kindly follow these steps:

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Ensure that all QuickBooks processes are no longer running.
  3. Open the entitlement data folder for your operating system and version of QuickBooks.
  4. Right-click the EntitlementDataStore.ecml file. And select Delete.
  5. Select Yes to confirm you want to delete the file.
  6. Open your company file and follow the instructions to register the application.

For further guidance, you may refer to this article: Resolve Installation Errors by Deleting Damaged File.

 

Fill me in if you have any other concerns. I'll be sure to get back to you.
