Hi @WilliamSim57496 

The "QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer" error occurs when the QuickBooks Database Server Manager (QBCFMonitorService) is not functioning properly. This service is essential for multi-user mode in QuickBooks, enabling access to company files hosted on a server. To resolve this issue, restart the QBCFMonitorService by going to the Services application on your computer. Find "QBCFMonitorService," right-click, and select "Start." If the problem persists, ensure that your QuickBooks installation is up to date and check for any firewall settings that might be blocking the service. Rebooting your computer may also help.
