AccountRight End of Life

I have AccountRight Plus and have two company files, 1 is already online and the other is still offline.  As I understand from 17th June I will no longer be able to use the company file that is offline which now only has minor transactions each month but previously had several employees and much higher volume of monthly transactions .  My question is:  If I purchase another subscription to MYOB Lite and export my current files across will I lose the ability to access older data?

  • I also have an AccountRight Live Plus Subscription- I run one main company file that is online, (only due to the fact it has employees & requires STP & Payday Super)  and then have 4 additional company files that are Offline and only require basic account keeping and reporting. (SMSF, personal partnership etc). We've been using MYOB for the 5 entities for decades.

    If we have to move all company files online- I also want to know if I can to move these lesser entities to an MYOB Lite. No way I can justify paying 5x my existing Subscription fee to keep these files ongoing on MYOB. Must admit we are now looking at alternatives.

    Hoping MYOB can help make an easy transition for those in this situation.

    Hi Pol​ 

    Given you have 4 additional files offline, I am assuming you have a perpetual licence. Just my opinion, but it would make more sense to have 2 installations of AccountRight PC Edition. One that will update - and use that to access your online file. And one that won't update - that is it will stay as AR2026.3. Use this version to continue to access your 4 offline files as long as you like. MYOB have clearly stated the 17 June 2026 changes won't affect confirmation.

     

    If your not sure how to do this, get in touch with FGH Tables, they can set it up remotely. Cheaper than 4 MYOB Lite subscriptions, esp given you have already paid to use your offline files.
