  4. Click YES.

Important Notice

The upgrade process creates a new company data file.

After upgrading:

  • Always open the new upgraded file.

  • Do NOT open the old data file anymore.

If ABSS asks you to upgrade again in the future

It means you have accidentally opened the old data file.

Do NOT proceed with the upgrade again.

If you continue, it may overwrite the previously upgraded file and any transactions entered after the first upgrade may be lost.

6. Backup Recommendation

Best Practice

Remember to back up your ABSS data every day.

Save your backup files in:

  • A USB/Pen Drive

  • A Cloud Drive (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.)

Having multiple backup copies helps protect your business data from accidental deletion, hardware failure, or ransomware attacks.
