Error: The Shipping Manager database is newer than the Shipping Manager on this PC
When you try to use Shipping Manager you receive this error:

The Shipping Manager database is newer than the Shipping Manager on this PC.

Why this is happening
A few different things can cause this error:
* You are trying to use Shipping Manager from a Point of Sale (POS) client workstation.
* You have a damaged Shipping Manager database.
* When you installed QuickBooks, the installation did not find the most current Shipping Manager database.
How to fix it
Intuit recommends 2 solutions for this issue, depending on your situation:
* Use solution 1 only if you are using Shipping Manager with POS.
* Use solution 2 if you are using Shipping Manager with QuickBooks.

Important: Either of these solutions removes your shipping history. You will need to re-enter your shipping account information after implementing the solution.

Note: in some cases, uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and removing the Entitlement Client folders is not required. Simply deleting the Shipping Manager folders and running a repair install may correct the issue.
