Update 30-04-2019: Our activation and confirmation service is still unavailable

See our online status page for up to date information

We're working on this as a priority and will have the service back online as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience and realise how important it is to resolve it as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience.

If you're completing a BAS, don't worry—we're currently working with the ATO for the best approach to deal with BAS deadlines.

 

Company file activation and confirmation should be quick and painless processes that happen online, behind the scenes.

If something is going wrong, check the list below for a solution.

 

IssueSolution
Error: "Maximum number of company files activated"

This means you've already activated the maximum number of company files allowed under your licence entitlement. So first, make sure you're trying to activate the correct file.

If it's the right file, you'll need to either:

  • deactivate one of your other company files, or
  • buy an additional company file (for pricing details, check our website - click the FAQs tab here: AustraliaNew Zealand).

We're here to help with either of these options, so call us on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand).

Learn more about this error.

Error: "Connection error" or

Error: "Unable to connect to the online confirmation service"

This error appears if there's a problem with your internet connection. If your internet connection seems fine (you can open web pages or send and receive emails), there might be antivirus or firewall software on your computer preventing the connection. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus or firewall software and attempting the activation / confirmation again.

See your antivirus and firewall software help to learn how to temporarily disable the software. Once you've activated or confirmed, you can re-enable the software.

If the issue persists, we're here to help. Call us on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand).

Error: "Unable to activate this company file"

This error simply shouldn't happen. Something is stopping the activation/confirmation and we need to find out what it is so it doesn't happen again.

Give us a call and we'll sort it out ASAP.

In Australia call 1300 555 151 (7am - 8pm Mon-Fri, 9am - 5pm Sat-Sun (Melbourne time))

In New Zealand call 0800 60 69 62 (9am - 10pm Mon-Fri, 11am - 7pm Sat-Sun (New Zealand time)). 

Company file has become read-only

If an AccountRight window displays Read-only, this means you can view the displayed information but can't record new information.

This can occur if:

Unable to confirm after upgrading to the new AccountRight

 

If your file has been activated with someone else’s serial number (such as your accountant’s) then you'll need to change the serial number in your company file.

To do this open the file in your new AccountRight software, go to the  Help  menu, choose  Change Serial Number  and enter the serial number for your AccountRight subscription. Learn more about changing your serial number.

Not sure what number to enter? Contact us and we'll give you a hand.
