Putting your file online guarantees you get the most value from your subscription—many of AccountRight's time-saving features only work if your file's online.

If you upgradeonline, you still get to choose how you want to work day to day:
  • work online, so you easily can collaborate with others, such as your colleagues, your bookkeeper or your accountant—all while maintaining control over who sees what information and when. You're no longer tied to the office—you can work from home, at a café, or on the train. Catch up on your books at a time and place that suits you.
  • work offline (check out your file). You might do this if won't have access to the internet for a while. Or, you might simply prefer to work offline and go back online only when you want your accountant to access your file. AccountRight gives you that flexibility.

    But if you really can't or don't want to work online at all, you can upgrade your file without putting it online.

    If you:

    • don't want online access
    • don't have an internet connection, or it's very slow
    • don't have a subscription for an online file

    or

    • if you operate on a network

    you can upgrade the file without putting it online — but this does mean you won't have access to key features.

    If your file won't be stored online

    • If your file is 100MB or more in size, there are a couple of things you should do in your Classic AccountRight software first . This can help the upgrade complete faster and smoother.

    • If you've linked pictures to cards or item records, note that pictures over 200KB in size won't be imported into your upgraded file.

    • Make sure your card and item pictures are saved in a subfolder called Graphics , in the same location as the file you're upgrading. For example, if the file you're upgrading is located at C:\Plus19 , make sure the pictures are in   C:\Plus19\Graphics .

     

    Security

     

    • AccountRight is protected by industry standard security–Two-factor authentication. 2FA improves your security by making it harder for unauthorised people to access your data. 

    • To comply with PCI Data Security Standards , you'll only be able to view the last four digits of any credit card numbers in your upgraded file, and card expiry dates won't be retained . Image Removed

     

    Upgrade entitlements and costs

    What does it cost to upgrade?  If you have an AccountRight subscription, nothing! You're entitled to upgrade to the latest version for no extra cost.If you don't have a subscription, visit the MYOB website (Australia  |  New Zealand).

    How many company files can be put online?  An AccountRight subscription enables AccountRight Basics, Standard and Plus users to put 1 file online. AccountRight Premier subscribers can move two files online.  To buy additional company files or add online services to another company file, please call MYOB on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand). 

    You can also upgrade additional files without putting them online–but you won't have access to online services for those files. 

    Can I upgrade to a different level product? Yes, you can but you can only upgrade files to a higher product level (for example, from AccountRight Basics to AccountRight Plus, or AccountRight Standard to AccountRight Premier). This does involve additional cost—please call MYOB on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand) for more information.

    However, you can explore different product levels for free—see Change which AccountRight product you use.

    Can I downgrade after upgrading? After upgrading your company file, you can't "downgrade" the file to use it back in AccountRight v19. Pre-upgraded company files remain accessible by AccountRight v19.

    Keypoints

    You need an AccountRight subscription to upgrade

    Check the following features

    Take note if you use these features in your Classic AccountRight (v19 or earlier) software:

    • Negative inventory -  inventory items can't have a negative quantity or value in the new AccounRight. But if you adjust your inventory quantities and values to zero or greater (in each location, if you use multiple inventory locations), you can turn off negative inventory in AccountRight v19 and it won't prevent you from upgrading.

    • Add-ons that require ODBC. Are your add-ons compatible? Check here, the add-on centre (Australia | New Zealand) or contact the add-on provider to check if the add-on can work with the new AccountRight.

    MYOB is working on building out features like multi-currency in the new AccountRight. We'll let you know when they're available so you can move.
