If you’re using Sage 50 2020.1 or an older version, it’s time for an upgrade. To keep using the software without disruptions after September 30, 2023, get in touch with Accounting Business Solutions by JCS (800 475-1047).
Some updates are pointless. Do we really need to update our phone software just to get five new emojis? Probably not.
Other updates can be summed up as "and by updated I mean they ruined everything!"
However, a great majority of updates are not only useful but essential. And that's the case with this new Sage security update.
This critical security upgrade will affect older versions of the Sage software — Sage 50cloud Accounts and Sage 50 Accounts. So if you're running these Sage products, effective September 30, 2023, you will not be able to reinstall or reactivate the software; the only solution is to upgrade to a newer version.
But that's actually easier than you think. With Accounting Business Solutions by JCS, you can get a free test upgrade and then get a discount when you order your upgrade.
You can learn more about their offer at https://accountingbusinesssolutionsusa.com/sage-50-2020-1-earlier-will-stop-working-sept-30-2023-upgrade-now/ or keep reading to find out why this software update is not one to be ignored.
In its announcement, Sage explains that some older versions of the popular accounting software use the now-retired Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1. To comply with the latest recommendations from The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Sage is switching to TLS 1.2 and 1.3, already used by its newer software such as Sage 50 2023.0.
Many small businesses like yours will be affected by this change and Accounting Business Solutions by JCS understands that software transitions, upgrades, and data migration can be challenging without professional assistance. On the other hand, not upgrading to the new version will most certainly cause operational disruptions and could potentially expose your data to security breaches.
“To bypass the likely operations disruptions and their fallout, we strongly urge you to upgrade to the latest supported version of Sage 50 — Sage 50 2023.0,” said a spokesperson for Accounting Business Solutions by JCS. “This is the one way you’ll be assured that your accounting software functions securely and smoothly as Sept 30, 2023 segues into October 2023 and beyond.”
So if you're running Sage 50 2020.1 or an earlier version, schedule your consultation with Accounting Business Solutions by JCS and get a test upgrade free of charge.
"Security must always be priority number one. It is essential that you safeguard your valuable data and maintain continuity of your business operations. And we’re here to help make it seamless, stress-free, and affordable," a spokesperson added.
