MYOB offline being phased out
I Just received an email regarding the phasing out of the desktop library I’m pretty disgusted that this is happening and having to have all files online and was told this would be happening mid Jun...

People talk about being respectful. MYOB broke that with 7 days notice of the move online. I am a working electrical engineer, designing electronic hardware, accounting is 0.1% of my work time or less.
I suffer from ASD, ADHD, Dissoscociative disorder, PTSD and a few other things. The 7 days notice to move on like caused me 3 nights of no sleep and so far 4 appointments with phychologist and phychiatrist.
Just for a tool I use and was working happily as 19.16 and did not need to upgrade as I so not do payroll.
Given this 7 days notice, a breech of their own terms of 60 days notice, I have no patience left for MYOB and will as ASPYS do speak my mind in clear literal un filtered language.
MYOB caused the problem with 7 days notice and forgetting customers who are not accountants and spent less than 0.1% of their accounting but are met with predatory threats of having the file made read only.
Not what a small business person wants to hear.
Mate, if you are using MYOB Classic 19.16 (I personally use 19.17 for my Company Bees Kneez Accounting), you won't be affected. You simply keep using it offline. If you are using MYOB Classic you would have a perpetual license. If this has been lost over the years then MYOB should come to the party.
Very sad to hear about the angst and stress this has caused you!
Hopefully you have an app/icon on your desktop for MYOB Classic. If not, easily located. Again, I'm sure the moderators here can direct you to the right place to download if you don't.
Good luck!
I was still needing their confirmation, till I found FGH, they pulled the AR2026.4 file back to my old from Nov 25 1916 file, and its now honky dory, but I have an open complaint with the ombudsman to get back the money paid for nothing from oct 2019 till now. More than I pay for my main electronics cad package....
FGH have taken the DEC-curren AR2026.4 data back into the old .myo file, and i am back on 1916 with the confirmation tool from FGH.
We lost 2 years of bank reconcillation and nothing else, my retired but on staff ex accountant did hsi magic in 1916 and we are at end of year, and I can now send my file to my tax accountant, with an image of 1916 and he can acutally do it properly where as last year he couldnt due to all the stupid changes.
My end of year submission for my company, my self and Mum ( 80 with lots of interest and a few shares) costs $400 to submit with my tax accountant. Happy days.
". You simply keep using it offline. If you are using MYOB Classic you would have a perpetual license. If this has been lost over the years then MYOB should come to the party."
bron, I wish!! Tiff the complaint handler said i didn't have a perpetual license despite paying over $15k since 2005 for what started in 2005.... They are predators wanting to print money for no service since Oct 2019....
