Mandatory Upgrade Required Before 1 March 2026

This upgrade affects the following Accounting Addons products.:

  • BudgetLink
  • DirectDebitsLink
  • ExcelReportLink
  • ODBClink

The upgrade is required to be installed before 1 March 2026.

Why is Upgrading required

MYOB is introducing mandatory security changes that take effect 1 March 2026. After this date, older versions of Accounting Addons products would not be able to connect to MYOB company files.

We have developed and published upgrades to each of the products listed above in order to work with these changes.

What has changed

MYOB has updated the way it controls access to company files. Under the new model, connected software must request permission to access only the modules it needs, such as general ledger, contacts, banking, or payroll. This is different to the previous process that provides access to everything at once.

This change comes directly from MYOB and affects all software that connects to a MYOB company file. It is not optional. After 1 March 2026, any software that has not been updated will no longer be able to connect to MYOB.

This update provides improved security and ensures customers have greater control over which applications can access their data.

How to Upgrade

Download links and step-by-step instructions to upgrade are available in the relevant support notes linked below:

A Note for Offices with Managed IT services
