Starting November sixteen, Microsoft is ending distribution and revenue of its Microsoft Office Accounting product. Business officials began notifying customers of the choice on October 30.All Microsoft Office Accounting items in the UK and North The us are impacted through the choice, including Office Accounting Express, Office Accounting Regular, Office Accounting Professional, Office Accounting Professional As well as,
Office Professional Plus 2007 Key, Workplace Accounting 3-user and Small Business Accounting.Right here;s the back story as to why, according to a statement e-mailed to me by a company spokesperson:“After evaluating the product over the past few years we have determined that other Microsoft offerings including free templates within the Office system used with Excel and the Dynamics item are able to meet our customers’ needs. The Office Small Business web site has links to free templates for tiny businesses, for example invoices, expenses, time sheets, budgets and more and Microsoft’s Little Business Center is also a great resource for tiny businesses.”Microsoft officials said that existing Workplace Accounting clients will get five years of mainstream, free support and five years of extended,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro, paid support. Those who recently bought the item can return it for a refund inside thirty days of purchase. (Details on how to return the activation key are here.)The add-on services that are part of Office Accounting, which includes online income from eBay and credit profile from Equifax, will no longer be available after December 15, 2009. The credit-card-processing services and service allowing users to order compatible checks and forms are still going to be available, however. In addition, according to a Frequently Asked Questions document on Microsoft;s Web site, “your buyers will still be able to pay emailed invoices directly through PayPal.”In the UK,
Windows 7 Enterprise Key, as of October 30,
Office Professional 2007 Key, Microsoft parter Mamut is taking over item support for Microsoft Workplace Accounting users. From an update sent to me by Mamut:“In addition to receiving ongoing customer support from Mamut, current users of Microsoft Office Accounting will be offered a free upgrade to Mamut Enterprise Software solutions. Microsoft will no longer distribute Microsoft Office Accounting in the UK as of November 16, 2009, but Mamut will continue to invest in item development and services to ensure an easy transition for the approximately 100,000 registered users of Microsoft Office Accounting within the UK.”Update: Microsoft is not disclosing how many total existing clients it has for Office Accounting. (I asked.) I also asked Microsoft whether it has a U.S. support partner inside the wings and received this response from a spokesperson:“Microsoft is considering possible partnership opportunities for qualifying ISV partners inside the US; however,
Windows 7 Keygen, we do not have anything to announce at this time. For tiny businesses, free templates inside the Microsoft Workplace system can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Excel. Mid-sized businesses have the option of using the Microsoft Dynamics ERP products.”Microsoft has discontinued a number of its consumer and small-business offerings in recent months. In June, Microsoft said it was discontuining Microsoft Money. It also has dropped its Digital Image Suite and Encarta from its line-up.
