This is a pure money grab! Those who still use version 19 own the files so MYOB can't continually charge them. I have multiple files- I can't afford to have them all on subscription.
HiLiz5
MYOB have said this a couple of times before and I’ve received an email from another user to say that they’re doing this with AccountRight as well. If they do insist on this avenue, there is a third-party who can provide confirmation at a reasonable cost. Contact FGH Tables for assistance.

Hi Liz5 , upgrading to the latest software is an option available to customers and this change is not a 'money grab' from MYOB.
The AccountEdge (and AccountRight Classic) software has been unsupported since 2022 meaning there has been no further development of this software.
Refer to the 'why are we making this change' section of the announcement for more on the impact of this.
Customers do typically own this software through a perpetual licence and will still retain ownership of the files and data. Once the next prompt to confirm comes, the files will move to read only.
If you do proceed with upgrading to subscriptions, we have a much more flexible range of software now and you can have each file on the software that suits its needs rather than all files needing to have the same.
