Update 8/23: We’ve been working with QuickBooks on this issue. Intuit has identified the underlying problem affecting all QuickBooks Desktop customers and released a patch to correct the Certificate Revoked error. Their engineering team is testing the patch internally, and they’ll roll it out as soon as it clears deployment.
The instructions below will help you resolve this issue so you can get back to exporting your data. They’re based on guidance originally found here: How to fix the error QuickBooks - Application with Revoked Certificate. We’re doing our best to help, but ultimately this is an Intuit issue that their team needs to fully resolve. Before you start:
  • Follow these instructions exactly as written. Don’t skip ahead or assume you’ve got it covered before finishing the last steps.
  • If you’re in a hosted environment like RightNetworks or a similar service, you’ll need to contact your service provider — they’ll need to fix this on their end since you won’t have access to the required files and folders.
  • If these steps don’t work for you, we recommend reaching out to Intuit directly.
