What's different?

In v30, we switched to a 64-bit application. This means there are two downloads and you must select the right one that matches your operating system type. 

Unsure of your operating system type?

Refer to our Am I using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system? guide. 

Download and install the update where your data is held

Install Sage 50 Accounts where your data is stored initially. Once done, you can then upgrade Sage 50 Accounts on connected computers if you have multiple installations.

Depending on your data location, you may choose to download and install either the full v30 program or just the v30 Data Service.

Do I install the data service or the full program?

 TIP: Where is my Data held? If you're unsure where your data is, you can use this guide to check if your data is held on a server/other computer.

Install only the Data Service

If your data is held on a server, you can install just the data service on it. You can then install the full program on your other computers connected to the server. Just follow the steps in our install data service guide.

Install the full program

Install the full program on the computer where you plan to use Sage 50 Accounts; it includes the data service. You can upgrade other connected computers later.
