Troubleshooting - Listening failed. QRemote Server is shutting down in 15 Sec

Problem Description 1:

When I start QRemote Server, I get QRemoteServer Started, and it shows "Listening failed.QRemote Server is shutting down in 15 sec."

Problem Description 2:

I'm following the tutorial here: http://qodbc.com/QODBCremote.htm to access QuickBooks remotely. However, When I launch QRemote, the application immediately closes. My QRemote is version 1.0.0.321. 

Solution:

This means there is already an instance of QRemoteServer running on the same machine.

Start Windows Task manager, Switch to Processes, and Click "Show processes from all users." 

Note: In Win 8, Windows Server 2012, you can find QRemoteServer.exe details under the "Details" tab:

Start Windows Task manager, Switch to Details, 

You will notice QRemoteServer.exe running.

If you are using Terminal Services Machine, other users might have started QRemoteServer.

Either you can ask the user who is running QRemoteServer to Close the application or kill the QRemoteServer.exe (if you are sure it is not in use).
