However you may have to use a function called 'XP compatibility mode', to get the Win OS to recognise the older software. UK versions of the MYOB software from 16 onwards can be installed on Windows System 8 and System 7. To upgrade your operating system version, we have the following advice: Some MYOB UG members are having trouble with the Win System 8 operating system. Members have been asking us to confirm our understanding of MYOB UK compatibility with Win System 7 and 8: However in it is clear that the most recent version of Acclivity AE for the Mac (2013 Canada) is compatible, while older versions (eg 2011) are compatible but perhaps not in multiuser mode.Īcclivity believe that their software is compatible with OS 10.9:īut there appear to be difficulties as described here: The main System requirements page doesn't mention 10.9: No UK MYOB software will run on Mountain Lion OS 10.8 or 10.9 Mavericks UNLESS the OS has been upgraded to 10.8/10.9 on an existing mac. MYOB was written for the PowerPC Macs (which are before the more recent Intel chipset Macs). MYOB UK will not install on OS10.6 and 10.7 machines. UK versions of the MYOB software can be installed on OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). For those that intend to upgrade their operating system version we have the following advice: I’m leaning toward exporting my AccountEdge files to MoneyWorks, but am very eager to get input from other long-time users of AccountEdge.Members have been asking us to confirm MYOB compatibility with Mavericks OS10.9:Ī number of MYOB UG members are having trouble with the Mac OS 10.9. I’ve considered that and have also considered buying AccountEdge Pro for Windows (which one buys outright rather than subscribing) + CrossOver, but don’t know yet whether that combination’s working on an M1 chip (which I’ll eventually get: my Macs are aging and won’t last forever). This apparently is AccountEdge Pro for Windows in a Mac wrapper using CrossOver (CodeWeavers’ version of WINE). Since the last post in this thread, Priority Software (which had acquired Acclivity in 2018) announced an AccountEdge Pro for Mac subscription service that is compatible with Catalina and Big Sur (currently just on Intel chips although they claim they’re trying to get this to work on the M1 chip). Hi Adam, I was wondering what you and Tonya decided to do re: AccountEdge and a possible replacement? December’s nearly over, and with a new year about to start, I probably should be making a decision ASAP. The fact that MYOB is not supporting Mac OS from Catalina onwards will drive many to alternative (most likely web-based) solutions such as Xero, even though MYOB does offer a web based solution, out of spite or bitterness.Īnd I’m also unsure if a web-based solution can offer all of the features of a standalone application on a computer. If moving to an online service then each business name will be treated as a separate business and each charged the monthly rate. This is handy (or rather justifies the high purchase prices of buying myob) if you run a couple of micro (or hobby) businesses in the family. One other aspect is that a MYOB application on a computer can run multiple businesses within the app (up to five, from memory). One big question is how easy would a change from MYOB to XERO be and how it treats historical data as well as the structure of the accounts set up. There are different tiers of features at different price levels on both platforms.įor someone to move a myob business file/s from a single computer hard drive based version to a myob cloud based service will present challenges … little alone switching to another company such as Xero. My concern is that there will be a similar problem with the SSD on my Mac Mini, and that my only recourse will be to install Catalina, rendering all my AccountEdge files unusable on it (and I don’t want to run an older OS on Parallels or buy their Windows version or pay the prohibitive cost for their cloud “solution.”Īn option in Australia is which, I think, offers an online only service (web browser based). My Macbook Air is running Mojave but I had no choice in upgrading it: the SSD failed and had to be replaced and I was unsuccessful in reinstalling High Sierra on it: all that would work was to install the then current Mac OS of Mojave (which has been working fine for me). Due to the pandemic, I should have time to upgrade it to Mojave this summer. Re: upgrading to Catalina: I’m using AccountEdge on my Mac Mini, which is still running High Sierra. Anyone have any direct experience with it? I did see the very favorable 2014 review of MoneyWorks done by Macworld. MoneyWorks seems like it might be a suitable replacement for AccountEdge. MoneyWorks has an AccountEdge file converter that I’m looking into.
