Summary

How to register Sage 50 Payroll when you first purchase it.

Description

If you've purchased your software elsewhere, you're provided with a serial number and a trial activation key, that you can use for a maximum of 30 days. After 30 days, you must register before you can continue to use the software.

The quickest and easiest way to do this is to register online.

Create a Sage Account (Sage ID)

To register your software online you first of all need to create a login on the Sage website. This allows you to register software, as well as view your Sage account information, download software and updates and access support.

If you've not yet created one, you can find out how in the My Sage login guide >

Register online

Once you've set up your My Sage login and have your serial number to hand, you can register. You can find the serial number on your confirmation email.

  1. Go to https://my.sage.co.uk/
  2. Enter your email and password.
  3. Click Sign In.
  4. Click Support, then click Software registration centre.
  5. Enter your serial number and email address.
  6. Click Submit.

Obtain your new key

  1. Go to https://my.sage.co.uk/, enter your email and password.
  2. Click Sign In.
  3. Click My account, then click Products and services.
  4. Click the serial number for the relevant software.

This displays the activation key, as well as any relevant licence details. For example, number of users, employees and companies.

Enter your full key

  1. In Sage 50 Payroll, click Tools, then Upgrade Program.
  2. In the New Key box, enter the new activation key.
  3. Click Continue, then click OK.

You've now registered your software and can continue to process your payroll as normal.

Upgrade your licence

Do you need to increase the number of employees you have? Are you interested in giving another person access to your payroll software? Or, perhaps you need to run an additional company. If so, you can easily upgrade your Sage 50 Payroll licence.
