Read-Only Preference was Set

If the read-only preference was checked off manually, you can go to Setup > Preferences > Security and uncheck this option.

Note: If this checkbox is disabled, this means that your AccountEdge Subscription has expired or is no longer active.

AccountEdge Subscription Expired

AccountEdge Pro (for macOS 10.15 and higher) will revert to read-only mode if your AccountEdge subscription expires past the grace period. The read-only setting cannot be removed until you update or reactivate your AccountEdge subscription.

To check your AccountEdge subscription:

• Open AccountEdge
• Go to the Help menu
• Select Registration
• Click Log In
