    Hello

    Just a follow up incase anyone else has an issue doing this type of upgrade.

    Basically you need to get onto the DFR Team (dataservices@myob.com).

    Nothing in the MYOB support notes told me that, support online didn't seem to know and so it took a considerable amount of time and two phone calls to get to the end of it all.

    Then even when you get the file back from the DFR team the instructions they issue are very limited.

    You need to use your best logic to get your file functioning again.

    So all the best of luck to you.

    Maybe one day MYOB will make it a whole lot easier to convert from a Plus file to a Premier file.

    Don't rely on the idea that you can access the Help>Change Product with success...unless you're lucky :)

    Regards Michelle

Hi MichelleS_ECO 

 

If you are using AR2023, try Help > Change Product. This will update the company file. You will also need to update your subscription to a Premier subscription.

Gavin

    Thank you Gavin

    Yes I tried that but without success.

    I decided to call and wait on hold.

    I think it might be getting done.

    Yet to see the outcome!

    Regards

    Michelle

        Hi MichelleS_ECO, 

        Thanks for your post and my apologies for the late response. 

        We're pleased to hear that your issue has been resolved. Additionally, The upgrade process involves two stages: firstly, upgrading your serial number at our end, and then upgrading your company files associated with that serial number to the updated product.
         

        To initiate the serial number upgrade, we'll proceed with upgrading both the serial number and license of your company files. I understand that you're currently on Plus and are considering upgrading to AccountRight Premier. Our team will prepare and send you a quote for this upgrade.
         

        Once the quote is accepted, you'll need to navigate to Help >> Change Product and select Premier. This action will prompt the confirmation of the file, which can be conveniently done online. After this step, your file will be upgraded to Premier status. You can confirm this change by going to Help >> About AccountRight, where it will show AccountRight Premier as the Product.

        Feel free to post again if you have further queries and one of us will be happy to assist you.
        Regards,
        Earl
