The procedure for transferring Banana Accounting to a new computer is simple, but it varies depending on the version.
If you already have Banana Accounting Plus
- Install Banana Accounting Plus on the new computer by downloading it from our Download page.
- Enter (and verify) in the program the user email used to purchase your subscription. Banana Accounting Plus will automatically recognize it.
With the same email address, you can install Banana Accounting Plus on up to 5 devices, provided they belong to you. However, if you have a company and need to install Banana Accounting Plus on a server or on multiple computers, each user who uses the program must have their own subscription with their own email address.

Transferring your accounting files from one computer to another
In addition to installing Banana Accounting on the new computer, you must also transfer your accounting files (.ac2 format) using a USB stick, by email, or through a shared network or cloud storage. More information...
You can then start the program and open your files from the File > Open menu.
If you have Banana Accounting 9
We do not recommend installing Banana Accounting 9 (or older versions) on new computers, as these versions have not been developed or tested for years and may crash or not work properly. However, it is still technically possible to download the program, install it, and enter the license key.
If you have version 5, 6, 7, or 8
We no longer provide installation files for versions prior to 9, as they are considered obsolete. Therefore, it is not possible to reinstall them on a new computer. To continue working safely and with the latest updates, we recommend upgrading to Banana Accounting Plus, the latest version of our software — available with an annual subscription. If you are upgrading from an older version, you’ll get 1 month free!
Files created with previous versions are fully compatible with Banana Accounting Plus.
