Same problem. Contacted support. Waiting on a call that they tried to charge me for. Walked away from computer & instead of a call they had set me up with another chatbot. Then sent me a survey. Of course you have to sign up for $90/mth to get support on the product I had for 4 days. Apparently some guy will call. I’ll update this if he calls & I get it resolved.
Please try reinstalling the software. It will not delete any of your existing returns.

I can re-install, but FYI my prior 2 packages (2023 and 2022) are having the same problem. I tried going into them to see if I could isolate the problem, so I am concerned that this will not resolve the problem.
I also temporarily halted my anti-virus software and that didn't resolve the problem.
You can try using the tool which you can download here: LINK
I used the tool. It says it successfully fixied that year (2024) and the prior years.
I am still getting the error. It is stopping at the 'Checking server for latest update screen'. The screen shows twice. The second time, it pops up the error.
Please contact our phone support team as they will be able to assist you further.
