Sage 200 technology deprecation

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

We wanted to inform you of some upcoming technology retirements that will affect your use of Sage 200. Your Sage Business Partner should have already made you aware of this and the need to take action to avoid disruption to your business.

Resolution

Internet Explorer

Microsoft have announced the retirement of Internet Explorer (IE). The announcement signifies that Microsoft will provide no further IE updates, including those of a security nature.

Your business will have its own technology strategy around the use of IE, the retirement will likely have an impact of the availability of IE for future installations.

Whilst Sage 200 will continue to work with IE, other organisation such as banks, may reject their use due to the software being retired. Your Sage 200 version uses IE during installation and for other key features so there are some key facts you should be aware of:

  • If you wish to install your Sage 200 version on a new computer without IE, the installation will not complete successfully.
  • If IE is removed from the computer, the operation and use of the software will be impacted. This includes, but is not limited to bank feeds, invoice payments, self-service and workspaces.
    NOTE: Some of these features may not be applicable to the version you are running. Where it is relevant and depending on your selection, further information will be displayed as you continue through this guide.

Further information

Depending on your business assessment around Internet Explorer more generally, you may wish to upgrade your solution to our latest release: 2022 R1. The software is included as part of the licence fee element payable to Sage but there may be a cost from your Partner to install it. 

Please speak to your Sage Business Partner to discuss your requirements in more detail, and to co-ordinate with your partner around the installation of the necessary update.  If you have any third- party integrations, you may want to discuss this matter with your developer, your Partner should be able to help you do this.
