Hi Fermax
Without reading into your problem too much - from past experience I find the addon connector less reliable than the API as a service - i.e. install AR 2021.2 SE and the API gets installed as a service and runs without the hassles you are having.
The above solution may actually solve your problem - you also configure the API config file to replace the http://localhost:8080/AccountRight where localhost = ip address of the computer.

Hi The_Doc
AR is running on a terminal server therefore have installed via the MSI route.
Is there a way to install just the API as service feature from the SE edition?
Yes, I have updated the config file.
The AddOn Connector has been working fine, just trying to overcome the annoyance of having to have the Admin user logged in on the server for it to work.
Hi Fermax
Unfortunately the MSI version has been pedalled as the only version to use to install on a TS - and this is wrong.
I have been installing and using TS to run MYOB since 1996 - yep 1996 !!!
A lot of water under the bridge - but a lot of misinfromation gets out there and one of those seems to be that the ONLY version to install is the .MSI - not so.
The best and only version I believe, for many reasons, to install on a TS is the full SE version - it comes complete with the MYOB version of networking the MYOB file.
You do talk about accessing the API across the network - but you are not using the networking components SE - ?? Note the SE version is not the Server edition as in Windows Server - it just is the version that serves up MYOB myox files across a network (irrespective of the windows network settings) - confusing.
The SE version also comes with all the components which the msi doesn't - yes the MSI is quick to install; but as of version 2021.1 - the only version that should be installed on servers/TS should be the SE version as the non-SE version - has auto-updating - and that cannot happen on a server.
However, to install the API component - just install the full version - it then runs the API install after completing the SE install - once done you can uninstall the SE version without removing the API.

Hi The_Doc ,
We connect via RemoteApp on a Windows 2012 R2 Server (no cloud / online datafile).
Will the Server Edition work under this environment / setup?
Are there going to be any conflict issues installing the Server Edition whilst we already have the MSI version installed and and working?
Is it easy to switch from MSI to Server Edition?
MYOB advise the MSI installer for our environment.
I haven't played with the Server Edition, but If you can uninstall the Server Edition whilst leaving the API component, why can't you install just the API component?
