    How to install AccountRight

    How you install AccountRight depends on where you bought it. Here’s how to get started.

    If you purchased a point-of-sale activation (POSA) card from a retail store, you need to redeem your redemption code online and register your business details. This also registers you as the owner of your AccountRight software.

    You’ll be guided through the installation and setup of your company file. The card has more instructions on how to get started.

    Note that redemption codes are not the same as a serial number and have a different format:

  • a serial number has 12 numbers
  • a redemption code has 15 characters with a mix of letters and numbers.

    If you purchase AccountRight from the MYOB website, you'll be prompted to download an installer file that will take care of the installation for you.

    While AccountRight installs, you’ll enter some basic information about your business, like your contact details, and when installation is complete, you’ll have a company file ready for you to use.

    If you can’t find the installer file, see the email MYOB sent you after purchasing AccountRight. The email has a link to the installer and more details on how to install AccountRight.

    Can I install AccountRight on a Mac?

    AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. Consider using MYOB AccountEdge which is designed for the Mac, or MYOB Essentials which runs in a web browser and can be used on both on Windows and Mac.

    If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you'll need to install Windows on your Mac first. You can do this using Boot Camp (a Mac utility that allows you to install other operating systems) or virtual software such as Parallels or WMware. Note that running AccountRight on virtual software may affect performance and speed. And while many users report a good experience, it's not tested or supported by MYOB.
