AccountRight 2021.1 Update

Hi,

 

I currently use AccountRight 2020.3 offline. When opening the application, it has asked me to upgrade to the new version 2021.1. From what I've read, Accountright 2021.1 won't be compatible with users using Windows 7. Does this mean I have to upgrade to Windows 10? 

 

Will upgrading also have additional charges? Currently I'm on subscription but using offline on server.

 

 

Thanks

Re: AccountRight 2021.1 Update

Hi @Nansco_08 

 

AccountRight 2021.1 is not tested and supported on Windows 7. If you are using that Operating System we do recommend upgrading to Windows 8.1 or 10 as soon as possible. 

 

From an MYOB point of view, there are no additional charges for using the AccountRight product range on Windows 10. The current AccountRight subscription you are currently paying for covers the software on Windows 8.1 or 10. It should also be noted, that AccountRight 2021.1 is available for all users at no additional charge.

Kind regards,
Steven

Re: AccountRight 2021.1 Update

Hi Steven,

 

Would upgrading affect my back up? Would I still be able to open back ups currently in 2020.3 format if I upgrade to 2021.1?

 

 

Regards

Wayne

Hi @Nansco_08 

 

The ability to take a backup of the company file in AccountRight is still available in AccountRight 2021.1 running on Windows 8.1 or 10.

 

You also brought up whether you would be able to restore an older version's backup file in the latest version, this is certainly possible. It would be the same process as you have been using in AccountRight 2020.3, selecting File>>Restore, selecting the desired backup file, and what you wish to restore that file as. Once that file has been restored, upon first opening, you would be prompted to upgrade that file. As it's from an older version, just select on upgrade file to 2021.1 and you would be free to use that file in that new version.

Kind regards,
Steven
