We currently use MYOB Account Right Plus for our main company file. This is online. We have another company which we have an offline file and currently access through Account Right Plus. Can this offline file be transferred to an online file using a new MYOB Lite subscription?
Hi Bob01,
Yes, your offline AccountRight file can be moved online, but a MYOB Business Lite subscription works differently from an online AccountRight file. If the file is moved onto MYOB Business Lite, it becomes a browser-based MYOB Business file, so it won’t appear in the AccountRight desktop library the same way an online AccountRight file does. If you want to keep using the file in AccountRight desktop, it will need to be on an AccountRight subscription rather than MYOB Business Lite. Also, each company file you want to move will need its own subscription.
If you already have an active MYOB Business subscription for this second file, you can get started by filling out the online migration form here: Move to MYOB Business from AccountRight or AccountEdge. Once submitted, the migration team will contact you with the next steps on how to send the file through, and you’ll need to submit a separate request for each file you want moved.

Thanks Genreve,
Just to clarify, I want to separate my current offline file (Company A) away from our main business file (Company B). So, I will continue to run our main business file (Company B) through Account Right Plus. AND I want to have our other MYOB file (Company A, which is currently offline), run through MYOB Lite. So just to make sure, if I have a separate subscription to MYOB Lite, I will be able to use this to migrate my Company A offline file to this version of MYOB.
And also, Genreve, can you tell me the cost to add an extra company file to an existing Account Right Plus subscription? Thanks
Hi Bob01,
Yep, if you move Company A to its own MYOB Business Lite subscription, it can be migrated across. Just keep in mind it’ll become a browser-based MYOB Business file, not an AccountRight desktop file.
If you want to keep using Company A in AccountRight desktop, it’ll need its own AccountRight subscription instead.
For the extra file question, AccountRight Plus includes 1 online company file. If Company B is already using that, Company A would need either an additional online company file or a separate subscription. For the current cost, our team can confirm that through MOCA, our virtual assistant or My Account.

Genreve
