database conversion from premium to pro???

Posted By tycole over 9 years ago

I had a staff member install the wrong version of simply accounting (Simply Accounting 2011 Premium).
Our paid version is Simply Accounting 2011 Pro.
This company was opened one time in the premium version and it converted the database.
Now we cannot open our company in our paid version of 2011 pro.
Anyway this can be converted back for us?
We have not used the company since it was accidentally opened in premium edition.

Thanks

Hi tycole

If you use the backup feature in Simply every time you use it, then your last backup should work. I would restore from the backup and you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I think when the user exited the program it saved over the previous backup file.

Is there not a way to convert the database ?

I am use to using SQL and mysql database programs and I have never came across a program like this.

This is why your backups should always have unique names. You should have several backups on hand at any given time. You might find the old backup in the recyle bin, but I doubt it... Overwriting isn't the same as deleting. Maybe an IT pro can check that out for you? If not, SmithCo's answer might co$t now, but it will likely be less than having to purchase Premium every year.
