If you have upgraded your Accountants Office Classic (AO Classic) to a network licence, you'll need to change your standalone computer to a network and then connect other workstations into the network.

To do this, remove the registry settings, uninstall AO Classic and map a network drive for which to install AO Classic.

You'll need to download the latest AO Classic installation and any download further updates. You can download the latest release on the my.MYOB Product Downloads page, Australia or New Zealand.
