TConfirming activated company files
After a company file is activated, once or twice a year you must confirm its activation for the life of the file. The confirmation verifies to MYOB that you are running a legal installation of AccountEdge software. When confirmation is due and you attempt to open an activated company file, the Company File Confirmation window appears.
You have a period of grace in which to confirm the company file, indicated under the Confirm Your Company File heading.
note : Frequent requests to confirm
Under normal circumstances, confirmation occurs once or twice a year. If, after confirming a company file, AccountEdge software asks you within a short time to confirm it again, see ‘Troubleshooting activated company files’.
If you don’t want to confirm immediately, select the I want to confirm my company file later option and click Continue to open the file. After the period of grace expires, the company file can be opened only in read-only mode, in which you can still view transactions, print reports or export data, but will not be able to enter any transactions.
note : Confirming a read-only file
If you open a company file that is overdue for confirmation in read-only mode, but then change your mind, go to the Help menu and choose Confirm Company File. The Company File Confirmation window appears.
