Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can continue using Banana 9. The licence you purchased has not been cancelled and remains valid on operating systems compatible with the software. However, Banana 9, like earlier versions, no longer receives updates. The last release of Banana 9 was version 9.0.5, released in December 2019. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that these versions will work on newer operating systems.
Yes. Banana Accounting Plus is installed alongside the previous version, without replacing it. Both versions remain available on your computer, so you can try Banana Plus without any risk and continue using the older version. To launch Banana Plus, click its new icon. 
In the past, new major versions of Banana Accounting (7, 8, 9) were released several years apart. You could purchase a version and use it for a long time, freely choosing whether and when to upgrade. Today, operating systems, technologies, security requirements and regulations change much more quickly. To ensure reliable operation, the software therefore needs frequent updates and adjustments.
With the previous sales model, this would have meant purchasing new versions more and more frequently to keep the software up to date and compatible.
With Banana Accounting Plus, you instead have one single version that is continuously updated. The annual subscription includes technical updates, compatibility with new operating systems, improvements and new features included in your chosen plan.
You no longer need to purchase and install new major versions or keep licence keys.
No. Banana Plus opens files created with previous versions directly. You do not need to recreate your accounting files.
Yes. You can turn off automatic renewal of your Banana Accounting Plus subscription at any time from your Banana account. Your plan remains active until the end of the annual period you have already paid for.
Both the subscription and payment are annual.
Your files are not deleted or modified. Banana Accounting Plus switches to the Free plan, and you can continue opening and viewing your files according to the features available in that plan.
Yes. You can install Banana Plus on up to five devices used by the same person, with the same subscription and email address.
If several people use the software, for example in a company, we recommend a Multi-user subscription. The terms of use continue to apply.
