  • Transferring from one Operating System to another.
    Besides the Windows version, Banana Accounting 7 exists also in a native version for Mac and Linux. Each version has its own license; therefore, Banana Accounting 7 cannot be installed on different Operating Systems with one single license key. In order to go from one Operating System to another, a specific license for Windows, Mac or Linux must be bought. Those who already have one or another Banana version, can buy version 7 for Windows, Mac and Linux at the upgrade price.

    It is possible to go from one type of accounting to another with the Convert to new file command from the Tools menu. The program creates a new file that should be saved under a new name. It maintains all the data that have already been entered and adds (or eliminates) the columns that are specific to the new accounting type.
