The latest AccountRight version is 2018.2 (see what's new and the version history). If you're upgrading from a classic AccountRight version (v19 or earlier), learn how to upgrade to the new AccountRight.

You can check your current version on the Welcome window that appears when you start AccountRight. The AccountRight shortcut on your desktop also contains the version number.

If you've installed an update but your version number's different to what's shown above, you're likely opening your previous version. Look for the 2018.2 shortcut on your Desktop. Learn why you need to keep AccountRight up to date.

About updates

Whether your company file is online or not, make sure you keep your MYOB software up to date. You’ll be prompted to update whenever a new version is available for you.

You can keep working and click Update now when it's convenient, but if you don’t update your software for a while, you might find that you can’t log in to your online file because your AccountRight version is no longer supported. In this case, you’ll need to update AccountRight to access your file. Note that we'll email the primary contact for your AccountRight subscription 1-2 weeks before we end support for your version. If the Update now button isn't showing, see below for instructions on how to update. If clicking Update now isn't working for you, see  Installation troubleshooting.

Learn about the new features and find out what version is the latest release on the AccountRight Blog.
