This error indicates that the service has detected insufficient permissions to the MYOB share or folder containing MYOB Tax in particular the licence.
To resolve this error ensure that all users have modify permissions under both the sharing and security tabs on the folder used to host MYOB files. This is the folder used to map the network drive.
It can also be caused by incorrect paths in your registry keys for your licence. E.g. they are pointing to a network path instead of a UNC path.
Please navigate to both your Deploy and Tax (SOL64) folders to locate your registration.ini file/s.
| Deploy folder location | Tax(SOL64) location | |
|---|---|---|
| AE | M:\MYOBAE\AESQL\Central\Deploy | M:\MYOBAE\AESQL\Tax or M:\SOL64 |
| AO | M:\MYOBAO\AOSQL\Central\Deploy | M:\MYOBAO\AOSQL\TAX |
These registration.ini files should only ever contain a UNC path if it is a network drive path please get your IT to update it to the equivilent UNC path by checking Computer management under Administrative tools.
Once this has been done please re-run your workstation setup.
