Fix Sage 50 Firewall Error

When setting up a Sage 50 accounting program, you should adjust the firewall in case you are using a multi-user/client version. On the workstation or server where the records or data are stored, you should either turn off the firewall or alter the firewall to enable the application as well as ports to enable talk-through.

Most of the firewalls will invite you to access it the first time you are using the Sage 50 accounting program. It is vital to enable all procedures from Sage 50 via your firewall. If any procedures are blocked, Sage 50 won’t work accurately. If you block the Sage 50 procedure from running, at this point you should go into an exceptions/permissions zone of the firewall and enable full access to the procedure.
