MYOB Accountants Enterprise (AE) allows you to access your applications on multiple PCs. All you need to do is run the workstation install.

If you use Contacts or Client Compliance to access AE Tax or Accounts this article is for you.

Prior to performing the install, make sure you close all MYOB applications and temporarily disable User Account Controls (UAC) and your Anti-Virus software. This will ensure your files will be updated.

Disabling your anti-virus software can be complicated, require special permissions or a password. As all anti-virus software is different, if you need any assistance in disabling or re-enabling your anti-virus software we recommend speaking to your IT professional. If you need to know how to temporarily disable UAC, Disabling User Account Control (UAC) can walk you through it.
