Changes to MYOB AccountRight offline mode

Hi Gordons2​ 

Or you could just try Random_nuggets solution below. Given you haven't been updating a fairly old version, then I doubt you would have the auto upgrade feature anyway but just in case:

A simpler, more surgical method is as follows:

1. a) Open the folder in which MYOB is installed. Typically this will be in:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\MYOB\AccountRight

1. b) Inside that folder you will find a program file named Update.exe. Simply rename this program file to, say, "Update-disabled.exe". Voila! No more updates!. When AccountRight is next started, it will fail to find its auto-update program, and then carry on running the software as is.

I have successfully tested this approach since the AR 2026.3 release (PC edition).

Cheers
