Install AccountRight

If your computer meets the recommended system requirements, you're ready to go. If you'll be using AccountRight in a network, see Set up a network. If you're already using AccountRight and you're looking for the latest version, see Getting the latest version.

We recommend you use Google Chrome to download the installation file (download Chrome here). We've seen cases where other browsers, like Internet Explorer, can affect the file extension of downloaded files. What browser am I currently using?

  1. Right-click Download and choose Save link as or Save target as to save the installation file to your computer (an AccountRight subscription is required or you've been invited to access an online file).

  2. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation.

  3. Once AccountRight is installed, you'll see a shortcut icon for AccountRight on your desktop. You can then delete the installation file.

  4. If you no longer need a previous AccountRight version you can uninstall it.

Who can use AccountRight?

You can use the latest AccountRight version to enter data if you:

  • have been invited to access an online company file (learn more about accepting an invitation), or

  • want to trial AccountRight or you need it for study purposes (learn more).

If you don't have an AccountRight subscription, company files you create or upgrade in the latest AccountRight version will become read-only after 30 days.

If you're already using AccountRight, you can check the version in the Welcome window that appears when you start AccountRight. The AccountRight shortcut on your desktop also contains the version number.

Installation FAQs

Can I install AccountRight on a Mac?

AddAdd

AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. Consider using MYOB AccountEdge which is designed for the Mac, or MYOB Business which runs in a web browser and can be used on both on Windows and Mac.

If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you'll need to install Windows on your Mac first. You can do this using Boot Camp (a Mac utility that allows you to install other operating systems) or virtual software such as Parallels or WMware. Note that running AccountRight on virtual software may affect performance and speed. And while many users report a good experience, it's not tested or supported by MYOB.
