I have 4 computers and have installed QuickBooks in all of them. Everything seemed to be working fine until I decided to go for the new QuickBooks 2019 version. It all started a few months back when I received notifications to update my QuickBooks. I talked to my IT guy and he suggested that I purchase the newer version from the electronic store nearby his house as he was getting a reasonable discount on multiple licenses. He even installed it on all the four systems. Now, since yesterday I and all the employees have been dealing with the same “Error -6094, 0 (6010, 2) An error occurred when QuickBooks tried to start the database” message while opening the company file.

I need to get this fixed as soon as possible.
