  • If you are receiving this error in ProSeries 2006-2018, see the steps on unlocking prior year ProSeries instead.
  1. Click OK on the error message.
  2. Review the Customer Number and correct it if it doesn't match. There are two places to find the Customer Number that the order was placed under:
    1. Your order confirmation email.
    2. Log into My Account. It'll show on your Dashboard.
  3. Review the Zip Code. This should be the Sold To Zip Code from your order confirmation email.
  4. Click OK to try to re-license.
  1. Open ProSeries.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Options.
  3. Click on the Customer Information button.

If you still receive the error review the Order Confirmation email to see if the Ship to Zip Code is different then the Sold To Zip Code. If this different attempt the steps again with this zip code. The system may still be picking up the zip code off a prior renewal. Once a new order is placed this will update.
