To update AccountRight on a network

Here’s our recommended method to updating AccountRight on a network.

1. Update the server

In a server/client network setup, install any AccountRight updates on the server first.

1. Ensure no clients are accessing the AccountRight server.

2. Start AccountRight on the server and open a company file. Company files in a network library will appear in My Library on the server:
    

3. Double click the file to open it. If an update is available, you'll be prompted to update:
   

4. Click Update now. If you don't see the update prompt, download Server Edition here (AccountRight subscription required).

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the update.

2. Update the clients

After updating the AccountRight server, start AccountRight on a client and open the company file as usual. If an update is available, you’ll be prompted to update AccountRight. Click Update now and follow the on-screen instructions to install the update. Repeat for each client. If you don't see the update prompt, download PC Edition here  (AccountRight subscription required).

If you’re not entitled to install AccountRight, you won’t be able to install the update automatically. Contact MYOB on 1300 555 123 (Australia) or 0508 328 283 (New Zealand) to find out how to upgrade or subscribe.

3. Upgrade the company file

1. Once all clients have been updated to the latest AccountRight version, open AccountRight using the new shortcut that's been added to your Desktop. 

2. Open each company file you use. If prompted to upgrade, click Yes. Now you’re up to date.

Why am I being asked to Modify, Repair or Remove?

If you already have the current version installed and attempt to install a patch, you'll be asked to Modify, Repair or Remove.

To install the patch you'll need to:

1. Uninstall your current AccountRight Server Edition.
2. Download the latest AccountRight Server Edition installer (subscription required).
3. Install the latest version.

Why am I being prompted to update AccountRight after already updating?

If you've installed the latest update but you're still getting an update message, it's likely you're opening your previous version. Look for the 2020.2 shortcut on your desktop.
