    • Other trial version: typically 30 days unless purchasing a premium/paid license
    • Paid version duration could extend to 1 year to 3 years (as stated)

Disadvantages

  1. Locked database: users cannot modify “wheel” (likely template/report setup) / customization is relatively difficult
  2. Foreign-made software: no direct tax feature (as stated), but taxes can be adjusted/created manually (example mentioned: “RPM yes work assessed” — unclear exact feature)
  3. No fixed asset / asset module: cannot fulfill asset management needs
  4. Multi-warehouse handling is difficult: consignment goods processing is relatively hard
  5. Cannot handle multi-company organizations well: consolidated reports are not expected to be made using MYOB
  6. Trial expiration effect: after trial ends, data becomes locked, so work cannot continue (as stated)

Methodology / step-by-step instructions included?

No full step-by-step methodology is provided for using the software. However, the video implicitly gives selection guidance for learners:

  • If choosing a MYOB trial for education/training:
    • Prefer MYOB version 19 / 19.2
