Because your AccountRight company file is online, this means you can access it from any computer that has AccountRight installed with an internet connection (or from a web browser).
This also means if you have a new computer, or want AccountRight on more than one PC, all you need to do is install AccountRight.
Install AccountRight on a new computer
If other users log in to the new computer using their own Windows account name, they’ll need to follow these steps to install AccountRight as well.
