    There are few options but i need to know which path you want to take!

     

    1. Can restore this data, remove the serial number and renew subscription for AR Plus or premier.
    2. Can restore the data in read only mode in desktop version for AR plus or premier and use information only for reports. 
    3. Let me know which one is your intention

Hi Linda2024,

 

One of the many reasons you get conflicting advice is due to MYOB's confusing and ever changing naming of products. ChatGPT is also likely at fault. Then there are new and unexperienced forum/support staff.

As I think Genreve confirmed, provided you have backed up your online file, you can always restore it locally and access in - IF is is an AccountRight file. And it doesn't matter whether it is currently accessed online by desktop software or via the Browser. 

 

This however does not apply to MYOB Business or Business Pro or Essentials 'files' or whatever the next name will be, as these files cannot be backed up by the user.

 

Regards

Gavin
