Having trouble installing AccountRight?

Some antivirus software can interrupt software installation. If you have issues installing, try temporarily disabling your antivirus software and enable it again after installing. If you need some more installation help, see Installation troubleshooting.

You can use the latest AccountRight version to enter data if you:

  • have been invited to access an online company file (learn more about accepting an invitation), or

  • want to trial AccountRight or you need it for study purposes (learn more).

If you don't have an AccountRight subscription, company files you create or upgrade in the latest AccountRight version will become read-only after 30 days.

If you're already using AccountRight, you can check the version in the Welcome window that appears when you start AccountRight. The AccountRight shortcut on your desktop also contains the version number.

Can I install AccountRight on a Mac?

AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. Consider using MYOB AccountEdge which is designed for the Mac, or MYOB Essentials which runs in a web browser and can be used on both on Windows and Mac.

If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you'll need to install Windows on your Mac first. You can do this using Boot Camp (a Mac utility that allows you to install other operating systems) or virtual software such as Parallels or WMware. Note that running AccountRight on virtual software may affect performance and speed. And while many users report a good experience, it's not tested or supported by MYOB.
