Error: "Unable to connect to the online confirmation service"

This error message will appear if you don't have an internet connection. If you do have an internet connection, we recommend temporarily disabling antivirus / firewall software and attempting the activation / confirmation again.

Refer to your antivirus and firewall software help to learn how to temporarily disable the software.

Company file has become Read-only

If an AccountRight window displays Read-only, this means you can view the displayed information but can't record new information.

This can occur if:

Unable to confirm after upgrading to the new AccountRight

 

If your file has been activated with someone else’s serial number (such as your accountant’s) then you'll need to change the serial number in your company file.

To do this open the file in your new AccountRight software, go to the Help menu, choose Change Serial Number and enter the serial number for your AccountRight subscription. Learn more about changing your serial number.
