An error occurred when reading your license data in ProFile
by Intuit• Updated 1 week ago
An error message displays when launching ProFile. The error typically reads:
An error occurred while reading your license data. Please re-enter your license.
It is followed by an EOle error message.
Resolution
These errors are caused by a corrupted ProFile license. It is necessary to rename some existing files.
- Navigate to C:\ProgramData in the Windows File Explorer.
- Rename the GreenPoint folder. Most commonly, this is renamed to GreenPoint-old. The purpose of this is to force ProFile to create a new GreenPoint folder.
- Reopen ProFile. The first time you open after renaming GreenPoint, ProFile may open more slowly. This is expected.
- Re-enter the latest ProFile license.
The error should be resolved, and ProFile should operate normally.
Note: If you don't see a ProgramData folder, make sure it isn't hidden. In the Windows File Explorer, click the View tab and make sure Hidden items are checked.
