Official statement from AccountEdge/Acclivity/Priority Software
AccountEdge is not and will not be Catalina-compliant
We are disappointed to share that we will not be able to offer a Catalina-compliant version of AccountEdge - now or in the future. In the end, AccountEdge’s 30-year-old codebase proved too outdated to establish compatibility with Apple’s newest operating system. In spite of a multi-year project that involved a team of developers and analysts, it’s a project we will not be able to complete.
We recognize the inconvenience this presents to many loyal, long-time AccountEdge Mac users and for that we are truly sorry. Until very recently it has been our earnest intention to deliver you something compliant, new and awesome.
We’ve outlined your options, whether you choose to continue using AccountEdge (including on macOS Catalina) or to evaluate our best-in-class cloud solutions where we can, of course, help to convert your AccountEdge data.
AccountEdge Options
DON'T UPGRADE TO CATALINA
We will continue to update AccountEdge for those that continue to use AccountEdge on your Mac. We’ll deliver payroll tax updates and upgrades for years to come and we will be proactive in communicating our plans. In fact, AccountEdge 2020 is now available.
ACCOUNTEDGE HOSTED (NEW)
We recently launched a hosted, subscription service that allows you to access your AccountEdge company file from any Mac or Windows environment, including Catalina.
USE PARALLELS
You can run macOS Catalina and continue to use AccountEdge for Mac within a Parallels virtual machine environment. And, again, we will continue to update AccountEdge for years to come with payroll tax updates and upgrades.
AccountEdge for Windows
We will continue to develop, support and enhance AccountEdge for Windows, which is not impacted by macOS compatibility issues. Should it be convenient for you to use AccountEdge in a Windows environment, we will convert your Mac licenses (at no charge) to Windows.
Options Beyond AccountEdge
If you will be investigating new software to manage your business, our best-in-class Priority family of products are used to run over 9,000 organizations worldwide.
Priority Zoom
Robust, cloud software that delivers scalable performance for companies of all sizes for $50/user/mo (promo code: AEMAC for 50% off the first six months).
Priority ERP
If you are outgrowing AccountEdge, our powerful, yet flexible, ERP software allows you to manage large amounts of data and customize the software based on your business needs. Available both in the cloud and on-premises.
We very much appreciate your loyalty over the years and, in many cases, decades. We are a company that owes its success to word of mouth referrals from its customers and, for that, we thank you.
