If you're still using older ABSS (formerly MYOB) software, it’s important to know: certain versions have reached end-of-life status under the official website ABSS Sunset Policy. This means discontinued support, no more updates, and growing compatibility risks. But don’t stress—upgrading is smoother than you think.

What Does “Sunset” Mean in ABSS?

ABSS considers older software versions that are no longer supported as 'sunset versions.' Once a version enters sunset status, the following applies:

No technical support from ABSS
No access to updates, bug fixes, or new features
Increased risk of software issues and incompatibility with new OS
🧾 Unsupported GST or compliance updates, which can affect reporting

According to the official website ABSS Sunset Policy:

ABSS Product	Latest Version	Supported Versions	Sunset Versions
ABSS Accounting	V30.4	V30.3, V30.2, V30.1	Below V30.1
ABSS Premier	V30.4	V30.3, V30.2, V30.1	Below V30.1

Why You Shouldn’t Delay the Upgrade

Sticking with an outdated version could mean:

Data errors or file corruption after OS updates (like Windows 11)
Missing key compliance changes for IRAS reporting
No help when your software crashes or misbehaves
