What's new

With the new AccountRight, you can choose to connect your bank, put your file in the cloud, hook up your data to a range of powerful add-ons, and take payments online. And that's just the beginning.

Take a look at our What's new for v19 users help page.

Some features require an AccountRight subscription. To learn what AccountRight can do for your business, download a trial, or to subscribe, visit the MYOB website (Australia | New Zealand).

What does it cost to upgrade?  If you have an AccountRight subscription, you're entitled to upgrade to the latest version. For pricing and other subscription info, visit the MYOB website (Australia | New Zealand).

Before you begin

Check our list of things you should know before upgrading, and complete any tasks that apply to you.

If you were using the following Classic AccountRight features, you might not be able to upgrade just yet because these features aren't available in the new AccountRight:

  • M-Powered Payments
  • multi-currency, negative inventory or multi-location stock tracking
  • add-ons that require ODBC. Are your add-ons compatible?

If you haven't already done so, you need to install the latest version of AccountRight.

Let's do it

Now you can upgrade your file. We'll even put it online for you at the same time. Or you can upgrade the file without putting it online .

Upgrades usually take a couple of hours (depending on your company file size), and you can't make changes to your file during this time, so you should do it outside of business hours. 

  1. Start AccountRight (look for the new AR shortcut icon on your desktop or in the Start menu).
  2. When the  Welcome  window appears, click  Upgrade a company file .
  3. Click  Continue and then click  Browse  to locate and select the file you want to upgrade.
    Can't find your file? Try looking in your AccountRight v19 installation folder, like c:\Plus19 or c:\PremierClassic. Look for a file with a .myo or .prm extension. I still can't find my file.

  4. If the file you're upgrading is password-protected, type in the password and click Continue.

  5. Sign in to AccountRight Live with your MYOB account details and then click Upload.
    Once your file has uploaded, you can close AccountRight while we do the rest. 
  6. We'll email you when the upgrade's complete, or if we come across any issues along the way.

Post upgrade tasks

Depending on the features you want to use, there may be a few more things you need to do after upgrading. Don’t stress though, you only need to do them once.
