Having trouble installing AccountRight?

How to get started

How you install AccountRight depends on where you bought it. Here’s how to get started.

Just looking to install AccountRight on another computer? If you're already using the latest version of AccountRight and just want to install it on another computer, the easiest way to install the PC edition is to download it here (subscription required).

If you want to install an older version or the Server edition, if you have a subscription you can download the installer from my.MYOB.com.au (AU) or my.MYOB.co.nz (NZ).

If you purchased AccountRight but don't have a support subscription, call us and we'll email you a link to download your software (Australia 1300 555 123 or New Zealand 0508 328 283).

Bought online?

If you purchased AccountRight from the MYOB website, you would have been prompted to download an installer file that takes care of the installation for you. While AccountRight installs, you’ll enter some basic information about your business, like your contact details, and when installation is complete, you’ll have a company file ready for you to use.

If you can’t find the installer file, see the email MYOB sent you after purchasing AccountRight. The email has a link to the installer and more details on how to install AccountRight.

Have a redemption code?

If you purchased a point-of-sale activation (POSA) card from a retail store, you need to redeem your redemption code online and register your business details (this also registers you as the owner of your AccountRight software). You’ll then be guided through the installation and setup of your company file. See the card for instructions on how to get started.

Note that redemption codes are not the same as a serial number and have a different format (a serial number has 12 numbers, while a redemption code has 15 characters with a mix of letters and numbers).

Have an installation disc?When you insert the AccountRight disc, a window will appear with instructions on how to install your software.
Downloaded from my.MYOB or the MYOB website

Download your software from the link provided on the website and then locate and double-click the downloaded file. You’ll then be guided through the installation .

  FAQs


Can I install AccountRight on a Mac?

AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. 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.
