🛠️ What Does “QuickBooks Hosting Mode is Off” Mean?

✅ Hosting Mode should only be ON on the server and OFF on all other workstations.
🚨 Common Signs of the “Hosting Mode is Off” Error:
-
QuickBooks multi-user mode doesn’t work.
-
Other users can’t access the company file.
-
You receive a “Cannot communicate with the server” message.
-
