Whenever you install Sage 50 Accounts, the Data Service installs too. However, if you don't have the software on the computer that stores your data, you'll need to install the Data Service separately.

Before you start

Ensure your computer or server meets the system requirements for Sage 50 Accounts and the firewall requirements for Sage 50 Accounts.

Software and data on the same computer

If you store your data on the same computer as your software, just install the software and it automatically includes the Sage Accounts Data Service.
