Error: The Shipping Manager database is newer than the Shipping Manager on this PC, when using shipping manager in POS

When you try to use Shipping Manager you receive this error:

The Shipping Manager database is newer than the Shipping Manager on this PC


Reasons:


A few different things can cause this error:

You are trying to use Shipping Manager from a Point of Sale (POS) client workstation.

You have a damaged Shipping Manager database.

When you installed QuickBooks Desktop, the installation did not find the most current Shipping Manager database.


Resolution:


Intuit recommends 2 solutions for this issue, depending on your situation:

Use Solution 1 only if you are using Shipping Manager with POS.

Use Solution 2 if you are using Shipping Manager with QuickBooks Desktop.

Important: Either of these solutions removes your shipping history. You will need to re-enter your shipping account information after implementing the solution.

Repair the installation of POS.

Restart your computer.
