Unable to confirm Company file in Accountright version 2016.2.1

Hi,

 

I have an old version of Accountright version 2016.2.1 and I can no longer confirm the company file either online or via the phone number which is obsolete. I tried various other phone options and also wrote to company, but to no avail. No response.

I have half a year of entries for the last financial year completed and I don't want to go to read only access and start again. Can anyone please help me access my files? I am tearing my hair out. Thanks very much.

      Dear Leneth_A,

      Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

      After coming across and reading your response to someone with a similar issue, I followed up with another help request via email (to feedback@myob.com) and received an email this morning saying that the help options have been updated and to upgrade free to latest MYOB. I am not sure if you personally that expedited my request, or if the second help request generated the response, but either way I am extremely grateful for your help via your original post which put me onto the right pathway to finally get a resolution. I had sent an email to MYOB previously but had never received a response.

      Love your work!

      Here is the email response I received for anyone that may find it useful:-

      Sorry to hear about your confirmation issue. Due to a recent windows update older versions of AccountRight no longer confirm automatically online. The solution is to update to the latest version of 
      AccountRight 2023.8 which you can find on our downloads page https://www.myob.com/au/support/downloads

      There is no cost involved, simply install the latest version and open you file to upgrade it. This will be able to confirm online. We have updated our online help with this information https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/ar/Activation+and+confirmation+errors

      If your file is marked as Read Only, go to Help > Confirm company file > Select online and the online confirmation will work in the updated version.

      The upgrade seems to have given me back access to my accounts, so thanks again!
