You cannot use Peachtree right now because the serial number(s).....

[MaltaC]

We have Peachtree Premium 2007 with multi-user license (5). It is hosted on a peer-to peer network and we can successfully connect from another PC. When I try to access the networked company from a third PC I get the following error message:

"You cannot use Peachtree right now because the serial number(s) you have (XXXXXXXX) are already in use by the maximum number of computers. If you feel you have reached this message in error, wait 1 minute and then try logging on again."

I have tried the following:
1) Rebooting the third computer and the computer the company files are on.
2) Deleting all the *.lck and *.ptl files from the company folder.
3) Mapped and remapped the drive on the third computer.
4) Uninstalling and reinstalling the Peachtree and the Pervasive database programs per Peachtree knowledge base answer ID: 21478 link:

Nothing has worked and I keep receiving this error message. I have no problem connecting from the first or second computers.

Thanks,

The cause of this error is due to how the pervasive database is installed, during and after the Peachtree Accounting installation process.

The resolution involves changing your registry.

Many Peachtree support centers can help you. Go to Peachtree's website and look for local support. (
