Hi SMM
Unfortunately, in light of the recent announcement regarding Catalina, we don’t expect a new release for AccountEdge in the immediate future with a compliance release for this payroll year still being investigated. We'll have more information on that situation closer to the end of the payroll year.
In saying that, AccountEdge will continue to operate with all its current functionalities on the Mojave operating system for the foreseeable future.
Hi,
I've just upgraded to Catalina 10.15.5 and then discovered i cant use my AccountEdge Basic v5 software. A warning comes up saying "the developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information". OMG. What do i do because it looks like the developer is not updating the software for this OS? How do i access my data to do my end of year finances this week? I have 12mths of data in the system. How do i access it and what accounting system can i migrate to? Please advise asap. Thanks.
Hi deb007
AccountEdge will still work, just not on Catalina. You will need to find an alternate solution, for example getting hold of another mac that uses a different operating system and transfer the files across, or use VM Ware or Parallels to run Mojave on a partition, or get the file converted to AccountRight so you can use on a PC. These and other options can be found repeated numerous times if you look at some of the forum posts on this topic on the forum. There is not easy solution.

it dosen't even work on Mojave. I haven't been able to back my files up for months.
Myob just keep on putting it into the to hard pile.
REALLY **bleep** CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TAKE MY $1,000 A YEAR AND GIVE ME NO HELP WHAT SO EVER.
Hi Hel
Backing up is a separate issue. If you have any version of AccountEdge on Mojave you should be able to backup. There are some things that prevent backup however these are usually based on settings on your computer rather than the application AccountEdge. For example if you don't have write permission or you use a long path or a long file name.
Try to backup your file as test.zip to your desktop and see if that works. Desktop does not have permission issues and a short path and short file name should ensure this works. If it does, then experiment with other locations. File name should not exceed 32 characters and path and file name should not exceed 255 characters.
