Account right 2017.1

[mezrhone]

Good morning all,

We are looking to purchase some ipad pro tablets for our service technicians and want to load Accountright 2017.1 on to these. We currently use this version on our "pc" laptops. Before i purchase these ipads i was wondering is it possible to get this version of MYOB on a mac?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

HI @mezrhone

Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find it a great resource

As AccountRight 201X.X is a Windows based program, it isn’t able to be installed directly on a Mac or device that uses a Mac operating system.

If you were wanting to install AccountRight 201X.x on a Mac you would be looking at using a third-party program such as Boot Camp or Parallels, although the use of these programs to install AccountRight on a Mac is not supported. If you did want to pursue this you would need to check with your IT professional as to whether this is a possibility or not, alternatively you would need to look at a tablet with a Windows operating system, such as the Surface Pro.

Please do feel free to post any other questions that you may have.

Hi @mezrhone

If you are looking at purchasing the latest Microsoft Surface Pro, it’s worth just checking with whomever you are purchasing the devices from exactly what operating system is running on them. Windows has two operating systems that appear on tablets, Windows RT and full versions of the Windows 8/8.1/10 operating systems.

The Windows RT operating system is not compatible with AccountRight 201X.X, however the full Windows operating systems are. Generally speaking the Microsoft Surface Pro has a full version of the Windows Operating System, however this is always something that is a good idea to check to to make sure you don’t end up with incompatible devices.

There is no limit to the number of devices on which you can download AccountRight onto, however your AccountRight licence will have a set number of files that you will be restricted to. In saying that if you just had one file on the cloud you could have any number of computers that had access to the cloud file. You can download AccountRight to additional computers as you need them.
