Required upgrade steps to go from 4.4 to 2021

  • 1.  Required upgrade steps to go from 4.4 to 2021

    Posted 06-03-2022 12:42

    I had the following information in my notes (90Minds previous post) for Sage Upgrades.

    I have a 4.4 upgrade coming up. If they don't have Payroll, can you jump all the way from 4.5.8 to 2021?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Mandatory order of upgrade by Sage rules

    • 3.2
    • 3.41
    • 3.61
    • 3.71
    • 4.5.8 
    • 2013 or higher up to 2017  (due to Payroll)
    • 20xx to 2021

    Without Payroll, I have successfully upgraded to v2020 from v4.5.8 a few times now.

    Since you have no Payroll I would go 4.4 to 2017 to 2021.   All those jumps in between are NOT necessary.  ;)

    @Carmen Cruz what was the reason for the stop at 4.5.8?

    That was Sage's bright idea but what they didn't realize is they pulled the product update 8 for 4.5 and for some upgrades this of course was an issue.  So you know me always messing with the program I checked to see how far I can really jump if needed.  If I am on 4.5 I am NOT going to install 4.8.  I am going to jump.   Tested PR as I went as well.  Now my minimum would be, if forced.  If I am on 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5,  I am going to go 2014.   Convert my data and make sure Payroll and everything else is happy.  If all goes well I am going to jump from 2014 straight to 2021 or 2022, whichever the client wants.   ;)

    You know Sage trying to make things more difficult then it actually is.

    If you are forced to go to 4.3 your going to need to do 4.4 next then 2014, 2022.   If you need any of the software or product updates I have them all.  Just let me know.

    I had a 3.6 ( no payroll or add-ons ) that I did about a year ago

    3.6 ( This is just where the customer started 
    3.71 ( This is needed because it's the only level 4.3 converts ? )
    4.3 ( I think this is needed because it's the last level to convert/migrate 3.x ? ) 
    2017 ( If I tried to go higher than 2017 I got a message about needing to be at least 4.5 PU8 )
    202x

    @Wayne Schulz that is the reasoning for the interim stops that I remember​ as well. I have 4.5.8 and will need to do 2 steps anyway, so rather than re-invent the upgrade wheel, I should just go from 4.4 to 4.5.8 to 2021. I know that works because I've done it before and @Karen O'Lane confirmed it.

    @Carmen Cruz Sorry, I guess I was confused by this statement, "If I am on 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5,  I am going to go 2014." I took this to mean you can go from 4.3 to 2014.

    Your right I did state that incorrectly.  My bad.   Have a great weekend.  Hopefully we are not both working. :)

    Quick question… I have upgraded a couple of times from 4.5.8 to 2021 and everything has gone OK. We do you all say “if not payroll”?
