  • 1.  Sage 100 Supported Versions - Sorta, kinda - dependind on how you define "supported"

    I noticed today that Sage updated their Sage 100 Supported versions KB here.   

    The hidden "gotcha" to this KB article is: 

    1. Sage presently only provides product updates to N-1 ( 2025 and 2024 ) ( See: May 21, 2025 Sage Quarterly Partner Webcast - slide deck available in Sage Partner -showing that only 2025.1 and 2024.1 scheduled for release during July 2025 ) - despite supporting N-2.
    2. Sage no longer openly posts product fixes in the download portal unless they are major issues impacting all customers. Other downloads/fixes appears to be "sign a waiver once you get a tech to find that in fact a download/fix does exist". Does this signal that Sage no longer tests these fixes and therefore requires a waiver? 

    For practical purposes this likely doesn't impact many end-users since

    a)  if you are so small that you can install a product update the day that it's release then you are probably small enough to install a full upgrade.
    b) if your site has multiple third-party enhancements you are likely locked into whatever version you presently are using (unable to immediately install a PU )  depending on how difficult it is to obtain compatible version(s) of third-party integrations.


    However, in my view, an N-2 support policy should include product update releases for ALL supported versions. And fixes (downloads)  should be viewable in the Sage download portal without having to call a tech and sign a waiver on behalf of a client ( which I never do - I insist the client sign because if Sage doesn't have confidence in the fix why should I sign the waiver? I make the customer sign).

    Happy Friday!

    It would be amazing if by 2030 Higher Logic gave the ability for the original poster to fix typos in the heading of threads that they start
