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?

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. If you can only find a .MYOX file, it means it's already upgraded. Learn how to open a company file.
    Still having trouble? Get help finding your company 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.
