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're using AccountRight Basics, Standard or Plus you can activate one company file. For AccountRight Premier you can activate two company files.
Additional company files
You can buy additional company files to use with AccountRight. For pricing details, check our website (click the FAQ tab Australia | New Zealand.
