This information only applies to the AccountRight Server Edition.

The AccountRight server service is a Windows service installed with AccountRight. 

AccountRight uses this service to access the data in your company file. Errors can occur if the service is missing, not working, or there is a port conflict.

The first thing to check is that all computers using AccountRight have the latest AccountRight version installed.

Some server service issues can be fixed quickly, while others require a few more steps. Perform each of the numbered tasks below until your issue is fixed. Some of these tasks are a bit technical, so you might also need help from an IT person.

Before you start, you'll need to log into Windows as an administrator or a user with administrator privileges.
