Repair error 3371 status code 11118 in Quickbooks

I have used this solution in two different situations when I changed hard drives in computers by imaging the old one. I ripped it from here for the sake of preserving knowledge. I don’t trust Intuit.
If the encrypted file containing your licence number and product code is damaged, QuickBooks will not open, and might display an error message. In those situations, deleting the entitlement file and reentering your license and product information may resolve the issue.

To rename the entitlement file (QB 2013):

1. Close QuickBooks if it’s open.
2. Open the entitlement data folder for your operating system and version of QuickBooks.
   1. On your keyboard, press Windows + R to open the Run window.
   2. Enter (or copy and paste) the following information, and then press Enter
      1. QuickBooks 2013-2016 and Enterprise 13.0: C:\ProgramData\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v8
3. Right-click the EntitlementDataStore.ecml file and select Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm you want to delete the file.
5. Open QuickBooks, open your company file, and follow the instructions to register the application.

Thank you IntuitVince
