    With this release, Sage is adopting an N-2-supported version policy.

    Sage officially supports Sage 2022, 2023, and 2024.

    Remember, when you upgrade or implement new customers, installing the 64-bit version of Sage 100 is probably best to avoid the Daily Transaction Register Issue. 

    Windows 10 reaches the end of support with Microsoft in October 2025, and you will likely see increasing numbers of customers installing Windows 11, which seems to cause problems with the Daily Transaction Register. Some users report making registry changes to Windows can help resolve the DTR issue while others report that the changes have not helped. It does not seem as if Sage is going to have a permanent solution for the DTR issue and the only reliable solution is to install 64-bit Sage 100.

    The AI Generated sound?  It is off-putting for me personally.  I like the "personal touch" of training from a real person.

    I wonder if Sage has the bandwidth to solve this problem or are they just using this opportunity to push people to 64-bit?  Is this end of the trail for 32-bit?

    I just attached the video of the 2024 changes.  I was impressed!  I wasn't expecting much and this is one of the few times in many years that Sage delivered some very meaningful upgrades.

    @Anne Sawyer - Did not occur to me that the monotone was AI.  Guess I need to get out more.......  I am on the fence with it.  I viewed the 2023.2 video.  Quite a difference, but I am not a fan either.  Opposite ends of the voice-over spectrum.  I guess Tom Hanks or Oprah were not available.  Big Sigh!
