New versions of AccountRight are designed to give you more time saving features, help you stay on top of your obligations, keep your data safe and fix things that didn't go to plan (okay, fix the bugs). And, if you're working online, you need the latest version of AccountRight to get the best online experience and performance.

The latest AccountRight version is 2018.2 . See what's new in this version or learn about all the recent releases on the AccountRight Blog.

Are you on the latest version?

Go to Help > About MYOB AccountRight
in your company file

 

 

If you've installed the latest update but your version is different to what's shown above, or you're still getting an update message, it's likely you're opening your previous version. Look for the 2018.2 shortcut on your desktop.

Looking for an older version? See our software downloads page.

Ready, set, get the latest version!

You need an AccountRight subscription to use the latest version of AccountRight. If your business has a subscription, then anyone you invite to work on your company file can also install and use the latest version.

Follow these instruction to install the PC edition. If you're using the Server Edition, see  To install the Server Edition below.

We recommend downloading the installer using Google Chrome (download Chrome here)–we've seen cases where other browsers, like Internet Explorer, can affect the file extension of downloaded files preventing installation.


  1. Click Download and save the installation file to your computer.
  2. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation.
  3. When you're done, you can delete the installation file.

Having trouble downloading or installing AccountRight?

There could be various reasons why, for example, some antivirus software can interrupt software downloads and installation. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus software and enable it again after installing.

For more information, see Installation troubleshooting.

How to stay up to date

When an update is released, you’ll be prompted to update when you open your company file. You'll also see the Update now reminder in your command centre.

While you can't dismiss this reminder, you can keep working and click Update now when it's convenient. However, if you work online and don’t update for a while, you might be unable open your company file as your version is no longer supported online. In this case, you’ll need to update AccountRight to open your file. We email the primary contact for your AccountRight subscription 1-2 weeks before we end online support for a version, so keep an eye out (or just get in early!)

If the Update now reminder isn't showing, see below for instructions on how to update. Or if clicking Update now doesn't work, see Installation troubleshooting .
