Offline mode of MYOB AccountRight desktop is being phased out

Move your company file online for more automation, better security and access to the latest product improvements.

What’s happening?

From 17 June 2026, offline mode will no longer be available for MYOB AccountRight desktop. Future releases will only work with company files stored online.

This means if your file is not online after 17 June 2026, you will not be able to open, edit or save your offline file. 

AccountRight desktop isn't going anywhere. The only change is that your company file will need to be online to receive product and security updates, support and online services. 

Calendar

What's changing and when

Key date:

17 June 2026

MYOB AccountRight desktop will only work with company files stored online. Offline mode will no longer be available.

From MYOB AccountRight version 2026.5 (PC edition), you’ll no longer be able to open, edit or save files stored locally (in My Library or Network Library).

To continue to access AccountRight, you’ll need an active MYOB AccountRight subscription and your company file will need to be online.

Why are we making this change?

The offline version of MYOB AccountRight is built on technology that no longer meets today’s performance standards. Moving online will:

  • ✓ Improve performance, reliability and security, such as 2FA and regular online back-ups
  • ✓ Ensure AccountRight is built on current, supported technology
  • ✓ Deliver faster and more frequent improvements, including stronger AI capabilities
  • ✓ Improve performance, reliability and security
  • ✓ Align with industry best practice and evolving needs of our customers

We remain committed to supporting your business far into the future. Our focus is shifting to investing in our next generation of online products and modern technology that reflects the evolving needs of our customers, delivering solutions that save time, increase efficiency, and improve collaboration between small businesses and their advisors.

What is AccountRight offline mode?

AccountRight offline mode is where your company files are stored directly on your computer or network without an internet connection.

These files are stored in a local MYOB library folder (My Library or Network Library), not in the cloud.

If your file is listed under Online (or appears after you sign in to online services), it’s already online. If it only appears under My Library or Network Library, it’s offline.
