Each user can install Banana Accounting Plus on up to 5 of the devices he personally uses, always activating the program with his registered user email. You can then, for example, install it on your desktop computer (at home or at work), on your laptop, on mobile phones, etc. The conditions of use always remain valid.
This also means that if the accounting files (.ac2 format) are saved on some Cloud device, such as ICloud or Dropbox, the user can access and work on them from all his devices.
Big Sur is the first version of a new generation of the operating system that involves important changes also in the libraries and development tools used. Apple has already hinted that more changes are to be expected in the future.
The program is installed and works locally. As for your files, you decide where to save them (locally or on external devices, on cloud systems like Dropbox, etc.). You can still install Banana Accounting+ on all your devices (up to 5 installations with the same user email).
This mode has several advantages: you always have the latest version, you are in step with the times and with the continuous automatic updates of operating systems - there are no sudden changes but each new feature is introduced and explained individually - there is no more waste of time for new installations, lost license keys, etc. - the price remains very low as always. You also have access to templates, documentation and working examples.
Subscription and payment are annual. At the end of 12 months you can decide whether to renew, change or cancel your subscription. You can also set automatic renewal. Our users who benefit from free months of the ADVANCED plan will still be able to choose a different plan at the end of the free period.
