With ADM, you can access all your clients' data from a single consolidated list in the ADM console. Use ADM to install versions 30, 31 and v32 of Sage 50 Accounts Client Manager, either as part of the initial installation or at any point after you install ADM.
Before you begin
You can only integrate ADM with copies of Sage 50 Accounts that are registered as Client Manager.
With ADM you can control the receipt, restore, and return of your clients' backup and accountant link files. When you receive a backup from a client, all you need to do is import the file into ADM.
To save you time, ADM automatically:
- Detects the version of the software the data originates from
- Creates a new company in that version in ADM
- Restores the data into that company
