Sage 50 2013 and 2010

Sage 50 2013 and 2010

Didn't find your answer?

Hi

I've been using SAGE 50 2013 for one client quite happily, and now have a client that uses SAGE 50 2010.  I've installed the 2010 version onto my pc but it won't open, I double click on the icon and the initial SAGE screen comes up for a few seconds and then it disappears.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I'd assume I can run 2 versions of SAGE on one machine.

Thanks in advance

Gillian

Yes, you can. Though the usual advice is to install the earliest version first and then do a custom install of the later version so that it is installed into a separate 2013 folder.

I have a program called Sage Client Manager. It enables you to have numerous versions of Sage on your PC. I have 2008 onwards on mine. So long as you access your clients through client manager it will use the correct version of Sage and ensure that if you make any changes to your clients data, it will not be in a later program to the one they're using.

Known Issue?

I seem to remember this was a known issue with 2010

Did you install from a disk? If so you will need to download and install the updates

Go to www.sage.co.uk/au and select your version from the 2 dropdowns, you'll then be presented with a list of required updates for your version. Obviously you can't open the program so can't check your exact version, just assume you are on the bottom one and install all of them in the list to the right of that.

This is also a good idea because your client has probably installed at least some of the updates prompted by the program itself, so you'd need to be on the same as them or higher to be able to restore their backup. (If you intend to restore data to them, you must both be on exactly the same version, worth asking them to check theirs)

I'm assuming you did install the 2010 into a completly seperate directory to your 2013? If not then worth uninstalling both then reinstalling 2010 first, doing it's updates, then install 2013 as suggested by JKnight

Yes you can have many versions on one PC, I have every version fro V8 to V19, no problem as long as each is in a seperate directory.
