What happens if I don’t register my software within the 30 day period? Will any of my business information be sent to MYOB when activating a company file?
My accountant or consultant will create my company file and provide it to me. Who should activate the company file?
You only need to activate company files into which you need to add new data or change existing data.
Upgrading files from previous years: You may want to upgrade all of your MYOB company files from previous years to the latest version. It is fine to do this, however as you will not need to add new information or make changes to data from previous years, it is not necessary to activate these files.
Backup files: If you make a backup of a file that has been activated, you will not be prompted to activate it again when you restore it. If you make a backup of file that has not yet been activated, you will be asked to activate the file after restoring it. You can select Activate Later top open and review the restored file, as this is not the live file. However, if you need to revert to a backup (due to your current file being lost or damaged), follow the on-screen prompts to activate the file.
Test files: You may want to create a test file to play with or for training purposes. You can create as many test files as you like and work on these with full access for 90 days, without having to activate them.
Short-term files: If you create a file that will be used for 90 days or less, you do not need to activate the file. If you do need to use the file for longer than 90 days, you can just activate the file when needed.
If you have any queries regarding the activation process, please contact MYOB Customer Service on 1300 555 151 or email customer_service@myob.com.au.
