Secure Invoicing
I have a few concerns about the new Secure Invoicing upgrade we are being basically forced to do. We don't have online payments from our customers and probably never will. So now instead of emailing...
Forum Discussion
Where's Mike?
An email just arrived stating that MYOB AccountRight Desktop Offiline file mode is being phased out.
Mike was very clear this was not in the pipeline when he stated that I could continue to use our perpetual licenced MYOB pretty much ongoing without fees and "OffLine".
So, Mike, how exactly do you explain this?
Seems MYOB can develop the software quite swiftly when its in their favour.
No talk of it, then in less than 6 months, its here with bells on.
MYOB just could not leave it alone could they. They HAD to step on the very few that have propped up MYOB the longest, paid the most subscription fees through the hard times, stuck with MYOB even when they failed to provide features that seemed so logical to the users, even when they seemed to start acting molevolent. Surely not MYOB, from the days of when it fitted on a single floppy disk and ran on an AMIGA computer.
To this?
Mike's word is not worth a penny.
Unless he wants to send me the MSI installer version of the 2025.11 server addition.
Then I might be willing to concede he is a person of his word, because that version doesnt update automatically. And that is exactly what I need.
When I see a ZIP file in my email inbox, then Mike may have at least saved his reputation.
Nothing will save the reputation of MYOB after this baseball hit to the face.
Hi Andrew MYOBcritic​
I have announced the change to Offline mode on the forum and is being discussed primarily here
I would encourage you to take a read of my post and the FAQs that I have subsequently added.
If perpetual licence holders without a subscription do not move their file online before the 2026.5 release on June 17 then they can still access and view their files by downloading 2026.4 and restoring a backup there.
If you need to work in the file rather than just view, then the best course of action would be to get a subscription (if you do not already have one) and have your file online.
Alternatively, you can install server edition and continue to use your file offline, but Server Edition is not a long-term solution. At some point, this software will be phased out, and the file will need to be moved online. After 17 June 2026, Server Edition will not receive any future feature or security enhancements and will only receive the bug fixes.
If you have any further questions after reading my other post, please feel free to ask but if you can do so on the other post to keep the conversations aligned (rather than here which is about secure invoicing) that would be appreciated.
Regards, Mike
