MYOB Company File Activation Window

After creating a Company File with MYOB, you will have 30 days to activate it. If after 30 days it is still not activated, the company file will become READ ONLY and you will not be able to activate it. Note that you can activate a total of 5 company files for free. If you want to activate more than 5 files, you can buy extra quota in block of 5 files. Cost in Malaysia will be RM59 per block, and in Singapore will be SGD$61.

Each time you open a yet to be activated company file, a MYOB Activate Your Company File Window will open.

Company File Activation Options
( ) I want to activate my company file online. (You must be connected to the Internet)
( ) I want to activate my company file by phone. This is an automated phone service
( ) I want to activate my company file later. Trial version users should also choose this option (30 days remaining)
( ) I want to mark this file as Read Only. For company files you no longer need to add data into.

Please note
If the file you have just opened is a backup file, a file from a previous financial year that has been closed, or a file you no longer need to add data to, you do not need to activate it. Jus select "I want to mark this company file as Read Only"

If you chose the first option to activate online, you will get a Activate Online Window (click to see screenshot) where you will need to enter your MYOB Serial Number (already filled in if you have registered your software) and a field where the Company File Code, generated by MYOB, is already filled in for you. It would be wise to both take a screenshot and save the image as well as record the company file code somewhere for reference.

On activation, you will receive a Company File Activated window informing you that the file is now activated
