Old version of Myob

I have been happily using MYOB Accounting Plus V10 forever, but my computer died and I have had to upgrade to Windows 11, which means I can no longer download the app onto my computer.  My question is, can I upload my data to a new MYOB software like Account Right?

  • Hi MickP 

    You won't need the Serial Number if he already has a confirmed file as the Serial Number is in the file itself. You mentioned an .MYO file so it will be any Classic version between 14 & 19 (there are several versions of 19). Has he been able to install the relevant version? If not, let me know which version at my email majubawest@hotmail.com and if it is prior to v16, I can send you the installer. Classic v16 to 19 are on the MYOB Software Downloads here https://www.myob.com/au/support/downloads?page=1#top Once he has installed, he can open the .MYO file without needing the Serial Number. 

    Cheers

  • My father-in-law is also in this exact predicament, except he cannot find his serial number (asked for at setup) and both the email address he originally signed up with has been decommissioned and his mobile number has changed so he says he can't recover the necessary details.

     

    He is very set in his ways, and wants to be able to import the MYO files that we managed to move over from his old PC, but we are struggling big time.

     

    I think the main way he uses MYOB is to manage his shares, but I've never used it before so am flying blind. Any advice will be appreciated.

     

    Cheers

  • Hi Laila2 

    I may be able to help you with this without you having to upgrade your version that appears to be a on a perpetual licence (meaning free forever). I have numerous old versions of MYOB and would be able to send you copies via MS OneDrive. If you think this may be useful, then you are welcome to email me at majubawest@hotmail.com.

    Cheers

    Hi Laila2,

     

    I wanted to inform you that you can upgrade your current MYOB Accounting Plus V10 to AccountRight V19. Once the upgrade is activated, you'll then have the option to further upgrade to AccountRight PC Edition 2016.

     

    This upgrade process will provide you with enhanced features and improved functionality that can benefit your business operations. You can download our software here: Downloads - MYOB Support.

     

    Regards,
