MYOB plus 15 full version crashes on Lion

Hi Jenniferf,

There are two reasons for the problem you are encountering. First is your MAC OS Mountain Lion has a security feature called Gatekeeper that prevents the successful launch of your program. The second is there are products under MYOB plus 15 that are really not compatible with MAC OS Mountain Lion. These products are AccountEdge v9. 6, AccountEdge Network Edition v9. 6 and FirstEdge v1.1. All of these products and its earlier version will not work for your OS. To solve this problem, a simple workaround to change the settings of your Gatekeeper security can be done. Just go to the Apple Menu on your computer, click System Preferences> Security and Privacy> General. From the General tab, you will see Allow applications downloaded from. Under that, you just have to select Anywhere. After changing this setting, you can try installing again MYOB plus 15 version but just make sure not to include in the installation the products not compatible with your OS. I'm sure there are other versions of those products that you can download and will work just fine on your MAC OS Mountain Lion. I hope this helps.
