We’re delighted to let you know that Sage 50 Accounts v28.1 pre-release is now available for members of the UK and Ireland Developers Programme.

This will allow you to familiarise yourself with the new features, test your bespoke and/or product additions ahead of the general release to partners on 9th May and customers on 16th May.

As part of this we’d like you to share with customers and partners information relating to the compatibility of your solution. You’re welcome to use Community Hub to do this as well as your own website and we encourage you to do this.

You can access the software here. By downloading this release, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of our pre-release agreement.

As part of the programme, you must:
