AccountRight Plus, Premier and Enterprise, Australia only
Upgrading to AccountRight v19.13 is a little different to previous AccountRight updates:
- It's a full product download, not just an update.
- AccountRight will be installed in a new program folder, such as C:\PlusClassic.
- Your existing AccountRight v19 software, program folder and desktop shortcut will not be removed.
- You will need to complete a few post-installation tasks.
This support note explains everything you need to do to get up and running with AccountRight v19.13. Some things you might not have done for a while (or never) so we'll take it step-by-step.
Create a backup!
Before doing anything, we suggest backing up your data. In your company file, go to the File menu and choose Back Up, then choose the option to Back up all data.
Some of these tasks need to be repeated on all computers which use AccountRight, but others only need to be done once.
You'll need to install this upgrade on all computers currently using AccountRight v19. The easiest way to get the upgrade is through AccountRight.
In your company file, go to the Help menu and choose Updates then Check for Updates. The Software Manager window appears and lists available updates.
Click the AccountRight v19.13 upgrade and click Install. The software will be downloaded.
Installing on multiple computers
If you've got a slow internet connection and you don't want to repeat the download on each computer, select the AccountRight v19.13 upgrade in the Software Manager window and click Download Only. You can then copy the downloaded file to a USB stick and use it on multiple computers.
- When the download is complete, follow the prompts to complete the installation.

FAQs
No, you don't have to do anything. If an employee earns more than $80,000, from 1 October the new tax tables will reduce the amount of tax being withheld from their pay. Any extra tax they may have paid from July to September will be credited to the employee when they lodge their 2017 income tax return.
