Sage 100

What will Sage Sales think of next? I twist end user arm to move to 100c. Main incentive is to get access to 100c ADV. I ask Sage for ADV keys and they want to see proof that the end user has authorized the upgrade. REALLY, like I just really want to secretly upgrade the client to ADV with them (or their IT staff) being aware of it????? I just don't have the heart to tell the sales staff that the client I upgraded to 100c last June and moved them ADV and worked with them to be invoiced on a monthly basis HASN'T been charged once since June even through they are getting a paid in full monthly invoice for the past five months??

Shhhhhh!

I'll tell you what Sage will think of next unless I am the only one that is clueless. Some guy (said he was from Sage) called almost every day last week and I ignored him. Yesterday I took the call and found out it is his job to help me switch all my customers to 100c. He says the incentive for the customer is that Sage is increasing maintenance on Perpetual licenses 20% in January so 100c will be a savings to the customer. If I was the customer, that kind of strong-arming me would incentivise me to hunt for an alternate system. Sage thinks its too difficult for a customer to switch from Sage to another system but it's not too hard to switch from another system to Sage. How naive.

It's far easier to stop maintenance and coast for 3-5 years, while casually looking at other options. Sage really is clueless.
