Re: Changes to MYOB AccountRight offline mode
Hi Albare I agree, a perpetual licence gives the user a right to 'use' the software, not simply 'access' it. IMHO MYOB have not legal basis to stop confirmation of a file used under a perpetual licence. But that won't stop them - they are a big company with deep pockets for legal challenges. FYI by stopping Updates on PC Edition (and yes this can be done), the user is effectively agreeing to no more support or updates. Confirmation should continue without a subscription for perpetual licence holders, or with a subscription if you have a subscription based licence only.

Hi Suze92 I think Mike_MYOB may have misunderstood what verison you were referring to. If you are currently using AR2019.4, this means you have a perpetual licence for it. You can download AR2019.4 SE from here. Under Products select Server Edition, then scroll until you come to AR2019.4. Your existing licence includes use of AR2019.4 SE.

Hi Geoffy You can choose to override Microsoft's blocks (which are based on your security settings like Reputation based Protection etc). Any v19 product can be installed and will run on Windows 10 or Windows 11. How you do it depends on the browser you use, eg right click and select Keep, click 3 horizontal dots and select Keep etc. Regards Gavin gavinw222@gmail.com6Views1like0CommentsRe: Changes to MYOB AccountRight offline mode
Hi mkwendt In your post you wrote '...create offline backups from time to time. We do occasionally restore these backups as a local file in our library. Will we still be able to restore as a local file after 17th June?' Thought I would add to reply by Mike_MYOB - after 17 June 2026, you will no longer be able to make these offline backups. Comments by Mike_MYOB about using Server Edition only applies to backups you have made before 17 June 2026. Regards Gavin8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Why are MYOB Reports so slow in this day and age? Constant crashes, time outs, failures just trying to bring up 6-12 months of Sales History for 1 customer.
Hi nduro Sounds like your file might be getting too big. While MYOB don't give you any option to reduce the size of the file, you can get in touch with MYOX Services - they provide a purge service that removes closed prior year transactions. This can substantially reduce the file and speed up processing. FYI this service may no longer be available after 17 June 2026 due to MYOB's 'no offline backup or restore' policy. At which point your only option for efficient processing would be to start a new file. And this means you may lose any in tray documents you have attached to the current file.

Hi Brindal You can't (or shouldn't) record a negative pay - that's not what is happening. Suggest you search the Support area for how to process salary sacrifice transactions. Before an employee can salary sacrifice, they need to be paid. So, for example, your base salary should be set to $30k, the employee can then salary sacrifice $30k, resulting in a $0 net pay. I am not suggesting this is correct in your case, I would strongly suggest discussing this with the business' tax adviser. Rather than salary sacrificing, the employer might simply make an Employer contribution (known as RESC). Salary sacrificing has super guarantee implications for the employer.

Hi JoanneMcG I cannot answer all your questions, however the announcement does not apply to Premier v19, so you will be able to open those old files without cost, provided you keep a copy of Premier v19 on your computer - perhaps download installer for your exact version here just in case your computer dies. This announce applies to MYOB versions that start with a year, such as 2026.3 Regards Gavin142Views0likes0CommentsRe: Changes to MYOB AccountRight offline mode
Hi jenniek See suggestion I posted here. I would recommend all users who prefer to stay offline, do so via a process to stop updates on the PC Edition. And you could have both on the same computer, a PC version that updates for online files, and a PC version that doesn't update for offline files. As mentioned by Mike_MYOB, unless disabled, the PC Edition will continue to update without a prompt, so the user cannot decline. However the updates can be stopped. I only update once a year for tax tables. The reason I would recommend this (continuing to use AR2026.3 PC Edition) rather than switching to the Server Edition, is as follows: When SE updates to AR2026.5, the offline company file will also update. This means that file will be 'stuck' in SE 2026.5 and cannot be opened in AR2026.3 even if you later download AR2026.3 to open the file - as suggested by Mike_MYOB for viewing backups etc. When (not if) MYOB blocks SE 2026.5, you will no longer be able to open that file offline, even as read-only.
