How to Reset QuickBooks Registration

How to Reset QuickBooks Registration

 

QuickBooks requires users to register their software within 30 days of purchase or download in order to continue using it. During the registration process — either online or by phone — QuickBooks provides a registration number the user enters into a file named “qbregistration.dat.” The registration number activates the software, allowing its continued use. If the DAT file becomes corrupted or fails to appear, you can write or rewrite it from scratch using any plain text editing app.

Error Message During Installation

Step 1

Look for the “qbregistration.dat” file. If you are using Windows Vista, 7 or 8, QuickBooks stores the file in the “C:\ProgramData\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks” folder.

Step 2

Right-click the “qbregistration.dat” file. Select “Rename” and renamy the file “qbregistration.old.”

Step 3

Launch a plain text editor app like Notepad and paste the following code into a blank text document:

xx.x”> version”>

YES 000-000 0000-0000-0000-000 000073adbf3f

Step 4

Replace the “xx.x” in the first line of code with “24.0” if you are using QuickBooks 2014. If you are using QuickBooks 2013. Use “22.0” if you have QuickBooks 2012. Type “atom” if you have QuickBooks Simple Start. Type “pro” if you have QuickBooks Pro.

Step 5

Replace “000-000” in the second line of code with your QuickBooks installation product number.

Step 6

Replace “0000-0000-0000-000” in the third line of code with your QuickBooks license number.

Step 7

Save the file as “qbregistration.dat” and select “All Files” in the Save as Type option. This ensures that no extra code is added to the file and that the file remains a DAT file without being changed to a DOC or TXT file. Save the file in the same folder where your “qbregistration.dat” was originally.

Prevent new window from hiding addons in toolbar | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support

Hi Jerl, you don’t need to explain the problem to me. I still have dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar set to true in about:config although it no longer does anything. As support forum volunteers, we don’t get special access to developers, we have to get in line like everyone else.

Did I post this before? The reason the toolbar buttons are hidden is a built-in style rule. So as an unofficial community developed workaround, you can inject an overriding style rule to make them visible again.

Setting this up is a little bit involved, so please set aside 10 quiet minutes to work through it.

(For anyone who already has a userChrome.css file set up, you just need to add the rule under (A) to your file.)

(A) Select and copy the following style rule code

/* Override Hiding of Toolbar Buttons in Limited Feature Windows */
*|*:root[chromehidden~="toolbar"] .chromeclass-toolbar-additional {
  display: -moz-box !important; /* default is display: none */
}

(B) Generate and download a userChrome.css file

Open the following page and paste the above rules into the editor, replacing the sample rule:

https://www.userchrome.org/download-userchrome-css.html

Then click “Generate CSS File” and save the userChrome.css file to your computer. (See first attached screenshot)

Use the downloads list on the toolbar to open the downloads folder directly to the new userChrome.css file. (See second attached screenshot)

Minimize that file browser window for later reference.

(C) Create a new chrome folder in your profile folder

The following article has the detailed steps for that (#1, #2, and I recommend #3)

https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html

I have videos for both Windows and Mac in case the text is not clear.

(D) Move the userChrome.css file you downloaded in Step B into the chrome folder you created in Step C

(E) Set Firefox to look for userChrome.css at startup — see step #6 in the above article.

The next time you exit Firefox and start it up again, it should discover that file and apply the rule.

Success?

Once you start tweaking the interface this way, you’ll probably find more and more things you want to do. I suggest bookmarking the pages where you get the code for future reference because changes to Firefox may break them and it’s easier to request an update if you can find the source.

A brief guide to Mozilla preferences – Mozilla | MDN

What is a preference?

A preference is any value or defined behavior that can be set (presumably, one setting is preferable to another). Preference changes via user interface usually take effect immediately. The values are saved to the user profile (in prefs.js), for both Firefox and Thunderbird.

A preference is read from a file, and can call up to four methods: pref(), user_pref(), sticky_pref() and lockPref(). All preferences files may call pref(), user_pref() and sticky_pref(), while the config file in addition may call lockPref().

How to Create a userChrome.css File

How to Create a userChrome.css File

Updated May 24, 2019; Originally posted by jscher2000 on November 5, 2017.

Creating your userChrome.css file is the first step on your quest to make over Firefox’s interface. It takes a couple of minutes, but it’s important to take your time and get it right so Firefox loads and applies your style recipes on the first try.

At startup, Firefox will check for the userChrome.css file in a particular location: a folder named chrome inside your currently active profile folder. The profile folder is where all of your current settings and add-ons are stored. (If you want to learn more about that folder, see “Profiles — Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data” on Mozilla Support.)

Here’s how you set that up (full details below):

  1. Open your currently active profile folder
  2. Create a new folder named chrome
  3. Create a desktop shortcut (alias) to the chrome folder for easier future access
  4. Make sure your OS is set to show you file extensions like .txt and .css
  5. Create a new text file inside the chrome folder named userChrome.css
  6. Change a preference in Firefox so it looks for your files at startup (in Firefox 69+)
