Support for Sage 100 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Ends Today

January 14, 2020 by Wayne Schulz Leave a Comment

On January 14, 2020, Microsoft ceased active support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Due to this change, Sage will also stop supporting these platforms for Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud. Users are urged to upgrade to a compatible operating system as outlined in Sage’s Supported Platforms document.

After January 14, 2020, if your PC is running Windows 7, it will no longer receive security updates. Therefore, it’s important that you upgrade to a modern operating system such as Windows 10, which can provide the latest security updates to help keep you and your data safer. In addition, Microsoft customer service will no longer be available to provide Windows 7 technical support. Related services for Windows 7 will also be discontinued over time. For example, certain games such as Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers as well as Electronic Program Guide for Windows Media Center are scheduled to be discontinued in January 2020.

Your existing Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud system will continue functioning on these platforms however you may have trouble loading Sage patches or obtaining future technical support related to these platforms.

We recommend you upgrade your operating system to a supported level and avoid potential costly interruption in service.

What Versions of Sage 100 ERP Are Supported As Of December 2014?

December 21, 2014 by Wayne Schulz

Sage have updated their supported versions list and are displaying the versions supported as well as retirement dates for the past 4 releases.

As shown in the image above the following versions of Sage 100 ERP are supported as of December 2014:

Sage 100 ERP 4.5 (last date for product updates – phone support ends 9/30/15)
Sage 100 ERP 2013
Sage 100 ERP 2014
Sage 100 ERP 2015 (projected release date – April 2015)

You should note that the last date for product updates and hot fixes may be a truer measure of when you should ensure your Sage 100 system has been upgraded. If there is an issue requiring a program fix and the version that you use is supported by phone but not product update or bug fix then you may be forced to quickly update to a later version if a program fix is deemed necessary by Sage.

Sage 100 ERP Supported Versions As Of 9/30/13

August 13, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

As of September 30, 2013 the only versions of Sage 100 ERP which are supported by Sage are:

Sage 100 ERP 2013
Sage 100 ERP v4.5
Sage 100 ERP 4.4

Version 4.3 of Sage 100 ERP (formerly MAS90 and MAS200) will no longer be supported. This means those on version 4.3 (or earlier) will not get access to any product updates which might fix bugs or ensure compatibility with Microsoft releases of Windows 8+.

Also please remember that Sage will no longer issue payroll tax form updates for any version of Sage 100 ERP and instead you will use the included Aatrix tax functionality to print forms which is only available for supported versions of Sage 100.

The link below provides a document showing the lastest Sage ERP MAS90,200,500 Supported Versions as of October 1011.

In essence the last date for payroll and year end updates is the end of life for those using payroll.

Recall that many states are issuing significant payroll withholding rules which might require a program update in order to continue processing payrolls. In most cases it is not apparent until the later part of December that a program update is going to be required.

Note that on most of these versions payroll updates end 9 months ahead of the official phone/email support.

Sage To Allow MAS 90 and MAS 200 3.71 Users To Stay On Maintenance – Receive Knowledgebase Access

August 6, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

I just noticed that Sage have updated their online support area accessed by consultants who are supporting their Sage MAS 90 and 200 products.

The update provides information on the following end of life dates for their products (which as far as I can see is unchanged from prior publication):

Version 3.71 – 9/30/10
Version 4.00 – 9/30/11
Version 4.05 – 9/30/11
Version 4.10 – 9/30/11

According to the update posted on Sage’s site:

Sage ERP MAS 90 version 3.71 will be retired as of September 30, 2010. After this date, product updates (including year end) and telephone support will no longer be provided by Sage. However, customers who stay with a maintenance plan will continue to have access to the knowledgebase with articles about the retired versions. For more information, see the Supported Versions document and the Sage ERP MAS 90 Roadmap.

This seems to apply that customers on older versions which while they may no longer be supported with product fixes could continue paying software maintenance in order to access the support knowledgebase.
