Account Edge and Catalina

Hi

 

I know that we can't upgade to Catalin at all now. I'm just wondering about the future of Account Edge?

Will this product continue to be supported by MYOB?

Will we get the necessary tax table updates for the upcoming new financial year?

Is there an alternative product being developed?

 

The last of information or contact from MYOB is astounding. 

 

Anyone?

Thanks

  • Hi SMM 

     

    We currently don't have any further information with regards to whether a tax table update will be available for AccountEdge. More information will be posted when that information does come to hand.

    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.

         

        Regards

        Gavin

        Hi Hel 

         

        AccountEdge will receive a compliance update, AccountEdge v18.6, later this month - typically last week on June. Note: This will NOT be Catalina compliant, being Mojave or below compatible.

      Steven_M will our exisiting Account Edge V 18.5 data file work using the latest version Account Right? 

      We could access this via Parallels on the mac. 

      What's the process for migration if any and costs involved please?

      thanks

        Hi SMM 

         

        Due to significant changes in the database, an AccountEdge company file is not able to be migrated across to AccountRight. Should you wish to consider moving to AccountRight we do recommend setting a date in your AccountEdge company file to get the customer, supplier and account balances as at. You would then create a company file in AccountRight before entering that information via Setup>>Balances or the Easy Setup Assistant.
