    The First or Last Name is Missing 2024

    nmr
    Level 1

    Hi,

    I've been getting this issue trying to login to 2024 (no issues with other versions) and I've updated my name in my profile and account manager, and it still keeps giving me the error. Anyone else getting it or have a solution/workaround?

    Has anyone tried using REPAIR UPDATES? You'll find it in your Windows Programs/Apps menu under the Proseries 2024 program.

    I am having the same problem. I even redownloaded the program. Every time I try to log in to either Pro or Basic the same notice comes up. There is nothing missing from my account information.What is the problem?

    @IntuitEric  - You keep telling people to just try again and repairing updates won't help.  Since so many folks have been hit with this issue, can you share exactly what is going on?

    @IRonMaN This is an account issue, that needs to be addressed on our end.  For immediate assistance, please contact our phone support for help in the moment (800-434-6818).  Repair updates only reinstalls the ProSeries program on your local machine.  I advise not to do this, so you don't waste your time trying things that won't impact the current issue.

    I am still experiencing this issue. I already called the number multiple times and set up another user account but did not resolve the issue. Sometimes it works (after multiple log in attempts) but mostly not. It is so frustrating and embarrassing in front of clients.

    Today I received this message in both the 2024 and 2023 versions.

    When I logged in ProSeries online to determine what to do, I received a message that I did not have credentials to obtain that information.

    I was just able to login now while still on hold to speak to someone. Didn't do anything on my end other than keep trying to login. They must have fixed the issue on the backend / server. 
    Keep trying to login folks - it might work for you now.
