Activating your company file verifies you have a legal installation of AccountRight. Why it's necessary.
You can use a file for 30 days in trial mode. If you don’t activate it within 30 days, the file will become read-only, which means you can open, view, print and export information, but you will not be able to enter new information into the file until you activate it.
Activation limits
The number of company files you can activate depends on your software licence. If you need to activate more company files than your licence permits (for example, you run a bookkeeping business that looks after many clients), you’ll need to obtain licence extensions to activate additional company files. Contact MYOB Support about obtaining licence extensions.
Before you begin
Before you can activate a company file, you need to know your product serial number, and have registered your software.
To activate a company file
Open the company file to be activated and sign on. The Activation Assistant appears.
Click I use this company file to record or edit my business transactions, then choose an activation option:
Method Steps Activate Online (Recommended) - Ensure you are connected to the internet.
- Choose Activate Online and then click Next. The Details window appears.
- If you have not previously entered your serial number, type it in the Serial Number field.
- Click Activate to activate the file.
Activate by Phone (Business hours only) You can activate by phone during business hours, however, wait times may apply. We recommend you use this option only if you cannot activate your file online. Note that you will still need to be able to access an activation licence file via email to activate by phone.
- Select the Activate by phone option and click Next.
- If you have not previously entered your serial number, type it in the Serial Number field.
- Call MYOB on the phone number displayed above the Serial Number field and request a licence file to be emailed to you.
- Once you have received the email, detach your licence file and save it to your computer (for example, your desktop).
- In the Activation Assistant, click Browse next to the Select the licence file to load field, to locate the licence file.
- Select the file and click Open.
- Click Activate to activate the file.
Close the assistant.
