Communication: Clarification on Sage 200 SQL Server licences (Partner licences)
Description

This communication was sent 28th August 2026.

Sage 200

We recently contacted you about SQL Server 2025 for your Sage 200 software, which included a licence attachment letter.

We’ve since identified an error in the attachment. The same issue also affects the licence attachment we previously issued for SQL Server 2022.

The error affects how the attachment displays licence quantities.

What you need to do

You don’t need to do anything.

We won't send a revised licence attachment. Instead we’re providing clarity on how to interpret the licence information shown in the attachment.

Understanding your licence

The attachment shows licence quantities incorrectly in the Core Licence section.

For SQL Server supplied with Sage 200:

  • Each installation includes one Server Licence
  • The Server Licence includes one Client Access Licence (CAL)
  • Any additional licences are User Client Access Licences (CALs)

Example

The licence attachment states:

  • Core Licence: 37 (Thirty Seven)

This means:

  • Server Licence: 1 (includes 1 CAL)
  • User Client Access Licences: 36 (Thirty Six)

We hope this explanation helps you understand the licence information shown in the attachment and avoids confusion when you review your SQL Server licence.

Help and support

If you have questions about licence interpretation, contact your Sage 200 Business Partner.

Kind regards,

Sage Customer Support
