AccountEdge is in Read-Only
Read-Only Preference was Set
If the read-only preference was checked off manually, you can go to Setup > Preferences > Security and uncheck this option.
Note: If this checkbox is disabled, this means that your AccountEdge Subscription has expired or is no longer active.
AccountEdge Subscription Expired
AccountEdge Pro (for macOS 10.15 and higher) will revert to read-only mode if your AccountEdge subscription expires past the grace period. The read-only setting cannot be removed until you update or reactivate your AccountEdge subscription.
To check your AccountEdge subscription:
- Open AccountEdge
- Go to the Help menu
- Select Registration
- Click Log In
Double-Clicked the Company File to Open
We are aware of an issue with AccountEdge Pro (for macOS 10.15 and higher) going into read-only when double clicking the Company File to open the software. As we work to resolve this, you will need to open AccountEdge first then open your Company File through the Open or Browse option.
If AccountEdge Pro (for macOS 10.15 and higher) went into read-only because of this:
- Go to the Help menu
- Select Registration
- Click Renew
This will update your license with your current subscription settings and remove the read-only restriction.
