MYOB Compnay Files: Activate, Backup, Deactivation, Reactivation

After creating a company file you will need to activate the file within 30 days or less. If you have not yet activated the company file, you will get a activation window which reads:

( )Activate online
( )Activate by phone
( )Activate later
( )Mark as Read Only

If you chose Activate later, you will get a Activation days remaining window telling you how many days you have left to activate the file.

On clicking OK exiting that window, you will get a file backup window which says

This company file has never been backed up.

If this file becomes damaged in some ways, everything you've entered will need to be re-entered. Re-entering data can take a considerable amount of time.

MYOB CANNOT guarantee that a damaged file can be repaired.

Do you wish to back up at this time?
