Hi, I have a couple of clients with very small business that have been using older versions of MYOB for many years. They have paid for the licenses of these programs. They are not happy at all about ...
Forum Discussion
Do I have to migrate by 28/2/26? Or can I migrate afterwards when the file becomes read only? Will the migration bring across all the old and comparative date when it is a read only file? The 28/2/26 is a very inconvenient date, being EOM and the close to the lodgement date of December BAS's (3/3/26).
Will I be able to export and print reports after is become read only. Can I export into Excel once it becomes read only - some clients will then use that to continue their accounts in excel.
Hi Marlyse , thanks for your questions about this.
If you are unable to or do not want to migrate before the 28th February, then whenever the next confirmation for your file occurs after the 28th is when your file will change to read only.
Confirmations don't occur at the same time for all files and customers.
After your file becomes read only, you will be able to view transactions, information, export data and run reports.
However you will not be able to enter any new transactions into or adjust existing transactions in the file
For any files that you do want to migrate, we have a migration team that will assist you with the change
Whether it is active or read only wont affect your ability to move. But there are other considerations around your system requirements and any features you might have used in AccountRight Classic.

How can you find out what date is your confirmation date?
hello Mike_MYOB
Further to the above, Could you please advise how customers can determine when their next confirmation is due?
Is there a way for us to view the confirmation expiry date within the company file, or can MYOB confirm this upon request?
For example, if a file’s next confirmation date is 20 November 2026, does that mean the file would remain fully operational until that date and only become read-only when confirmation is required after that point?
Also, can you confirm whether confirmations are typically required once per year, or can they occur more frequently depending on the licence or file?
Understanding this timing is important for planning and assessing the practical impact of the decommissioning.Hi NC1231
While awaiting a response from Mike_MYOB, you can get in touch with FGH Tables. Send them your current Company File Code (CFC) and they will tell you when the file is set to expire. The CFC can be found under Setup > Company Information > License button.

Hi NC1231
This piece is correct:
For example, if a file’s next confirmation date is 20 November 2026, does that mean the file would remain fully operational until that date and only become read-only when confirmation is required after that point?
You will still be able to add data to your file until the next confirmation date.
These confirmations are usually within a 30-90 day range for our legacy software.
The next confirmation date doesnt show in the software itself for you and MYOB will be unable to provide this to you as we do not support this software.Hi Mike_MYOB ,
Who within MYOB should we address the invoice to, for the cost of the confirmation tool(s) required to be purchased from FGH?
