Upgrade V19 Basics to ARL

Hi MYOB,

 

I have been in contact with my MYOB account manager, who helped me obtain a new serial number for ARL online.  He said to upgrade via the Upgrade Assistant (refer to the screenshots)

I have a backup of the V19 file - not sure what version 

I have the old serial number
I have the new serial number under my practice subscription while I sort out the upgrade.  I will transfer it back to the client later.

How do I get this dinosaur V19 file into ARL as quickly as possible?

I tried the chat line, and between that and what the account manager advised, nothing aligns.

I gather over the comming months this will be a task we will be undertaking as MYOB partners so hoping for some clear instructions (that work). 

Warm regards

Renae

    That conversion process can definitely be finicky when it's done manually. For a v19 file, the quickest path now is to lodge the migration request here rather than rely on the old Upgrade Assistant steps: v19 migration request form.

     

    You’ve already done the right thing by keeping a backup. Once the request is in, the team can check the file and let you know the next step.

    Thanks, Genreve. This is excellent. I have submitted the form.  Can you tell me the time line for upgrades so I can give client a rough estimate i.e. 24 hours or 5 working days?
