I ran a search on the error message above and found several posts with the same problem, but no one had any solutions in all the responses I read.
I have ProSeries 2021 installed on a network drive and the program has been working fine up until today. My server is running Windows Server Essentials 2019 and just completed an upgrade last night, so I wonder if that upgrade caused the problem.
I checked my security settings for that network drive and it is set to all users with full control, so I don't think my Permissions are not set to allow write access.
My workstation is the Administrative Console. Should I run Workstation install again from this workstation? I tried running ProSeries "As Administrator" but still got the same error.
How can I fix this mess?

This turned out to be a Microsuck problem. It may have been the server update that caused it, but the disk which ProSeries was installed on was set to write protected. I didn't do that, Microsuck did it without my knowledge or permission. I had to run Dispart on the server and manually clear the readonly attribute. ProSeries now works as before, but I wonder how often I'm going to have to run the Diskpart utility if MS keeps setting the attribute to read only
This mess is getting worse. I googled this problem and tried a couple of the "solutions" mentioned.
One suggestion was to run the Program "Connected Customer". When I do that it goes through getting updates then trying to license my products. This results in this error message: "ProSeries failed to license products. Error storing the local entitlement cache." This process eventually terminates with noting "Nothing is licensed".
I ran the program in the ProSeries 2021 directory called "Tools-Repair Updates". That appeared to download and reinstall all prior updates, but then I get the same loop as running "Connected Customer" did above.
Is my only solution to contact Intuit Technical Support by phone?

I think the first thing I would do is try to "roll back" that update to see if it works.
