When installing AccountRight, you'll need either the PC Edition or the Server Edition.

Most people just need the PC Edition—it’s the simplest installation, requires little configuration and is easy to maintain. The Server Edition is only for network servers which host AccountRight company files which need to be accessed by other computers on the network.

The AccountRight PC Edition will only be installed for the user who is currently logged into Windows. If other users log in to this computer using their own Windows account name, they’ll need to install AccountRight as well.

When you've decided which installation you need, learn how to install AccountRight.

Still not sure? Here’s a table showing the differences between the installer options:

Features	PC Edition	Server Edition
Requires Windows administrator access to install	No *	Yes
Can access AccountRight files in the cloud (online)	Yes	Yes
Can access AccountRight files stored on other computers on your office network	Yes	Yes
Can allow users on other computers on your office network to access AccountRight files stored on your computer.	No	Yes

* Windows administrator access is required if your Microsoft .NET version needs updating.

Do you use roaming profiles or terminal services? Looking for the MSI installer?

If you’d like to make the AccountRight PC Edition available to all users on your network, you can download an msi installer, and run it via the command line. Admin access will be required to install AccountRight and updates will need to be managed by the IT administrator.

See the AccountRight MSI installation instructions.
