by | Jul 31, 2024 | Announcements | 0 comments

Dear People’s Choice Accounting Community,

We hope this message finds you well. We have an important update regarding the support lifecycle for People’s Choice Accounting (PCA). As part of our commitment to continually enhancing our software and providing the best possible experience for our users, we are announcing the end of support for PCA versions 8 and earlier, effective November 30, 2024.

Why Are We Ending Support?

Our goal at People’s Choice Accounting is to deliver cutting-edge solutions that help you manage your finances efficiently and securely. As technology advances, it becomes essential to focus our resources on developing and maintaining newer versions of our software. By ending support for older versions, we can concentrate on bringing you the most innovative features, improved performance, and enhanced security.

What Does This Mean for You?

After November 30, 2024, PCA versions 8 and earlier will no longer receive:

  • Technical Support: Our support team will not be able to provide assistance for issues related to these versions.
  • Security Updates: There will be no further security patches or updates, potentially leaving your data vulnerable.
  • Feature Enhancements: No new features or improvements will be added to these versions.

Benefits of Upgrading

Upgrading to the latest version of People’s Choice Accounting offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Security: Protect your data with the latest security updates and protocols.
  • New Features: Take advantage of new tools and functionalities designed to make your accounting tasks easier and more efficient.
  • Improved Performance: Experience faster and more reliable software performance.
  • Customer Support: Receive ongoing technical support and assistance from our dedicated team.

How to Upgrade

We’ve made the upgrade process as seamless as possible. Here’s how you can upgrade to the latest version:

1. Log onto your SafeChoice Customer Portal and go to the FileBox and download and run the file PCADesktopV10Setup.exe.  This will install PCA Desktop v10 and will be fully functional for 60 days.  The 60-Day Trial is the Premier version with Payroll.  This does NOT install and replace your existing PCA XP software system.

2. Make a PCA XP backup in your existing version of People’s Choice Accounting XP system.

3. Open the Trial Copy of PCA Desktop v.10.  Go into the Demo company and open the Utilities menu.  Select RestoreCompanyData menu item.  The restore utility works the same as in PCA XP.  Proceed to restore the backup you just made in PCA XP.  After the backup is restored, the system will automatically update your data to the PCA Desktop v10 format.
