QuickBooks "Application With a Revoked Certificate"? Re-add the App — It's Not Your SSL

Connecting a third-party app to QuickBooks Desktop throws: “QuickBooks – Application with a Revoked Certificate. The application is signed with a certificate that has been revoked.”

Why the popular answer (buy a new SSL cert) is wrong: people assume it’s their website’s SSL certificate expiring. It isn’t. This is the third-party app’s code-signing certificate being revoked/outdated in the build QuickBooks has registered. The fix is to clear the old integration and re-add the current app build — nothing to do with web SSL.

Fix 1: Remove the integrated app from QuickBooks

1. In QuickBooks: Edit → Preferences → Integrated Applications → Company Preferences.
2. Select the third-party app in the list → Remove. OK out.

Fix 2: Remove the old .qwc from Web Connector

1. Open QuickBooks Web Connector.
2. Select the app → Remove the stale .qwc entry.

Fix 3: Re-add the current build

1. Get the latest .qwc from the app vendor (one signed with a current certificate).
2. Add it back to the Web Connector and re-authorize in QuickBooks (Certificate window → Yes, always allow → Continue → Done).

Fix 4: Update QuickBooks + the integration

Make sure QuickBooks is on the latest release (Help → Update QuickBooks Desktop) and the third-party app is updated — old builds carry the revoked cert. Updating both clears it for good.

FAQ

Do I need to renew my SSL certificate? No — this is the app’s code-signing certificate, not your site’s TLS cert. Re-adding the current app build is the fix.
