VT cashbook...
...is free on the website and cheap to buy if you want the full version.
Most others can be bought cheaply on ebay (eg: today I bought Sage 50 2013 on ebay for 29% of the price Sage quoted me for it!)

Software T&C's ....
@Steve McQueen
Watch Sage T&C's - if it is second hand you may be in breach of licence
IAB
sudents on some IAB courses get a student copy of Sage
not sure what the course fees are however...
Rs, S.
I can recommend PayTraq accounting software, it's a very flexible system that fits any curriculum. They offer student subscriptions that gives students one year of free access.
Good morning
You can try decreba.com , accounting game and software.
Thank you for asking.
Best regards
I do not know if anyone else noticed, but the thread title, as truncated and displayed in the list of Any Answers , reads as something many posters here have a common complaint against.
I was really disappointed when I clicked and then read the full title, I thought I was going to be able to read a posting saga with vitriol and invective being fired from all sides.
Me too. Though I would have had a grudging admiration for someone with the audacity to state it so plainly rather than "just checking before they ask their accountant that totally exists, honest".I do not know if anyone else noticed, but the thread title, as truncated and displayed in the list of Any Answers , reads as something many posters here have a common complaint against.

What is your position and what is the course you are teaching?
If you are offering a paid for course (either by yourself or through an institution) then payment for appropriate software for homework use should be covered by course fees.
If you are training students to use Sage and Quickbooks, then cheap/free software for home practice that operates entirely differently is worse than useless.
Yes, slow. I meant slow. I never, ever, meant to suggest that stepurhan was pointless. Whatever was I thinking when I typed that.
Sorry we did not notice that the question was from 2012.
But if anyone wants to ask the same question in the future the answer is already there.
