RESOLUTIONS

Wait until Sage Licence Service is restored

  1. Press the Windows key and R then types timedate.cpl and click on OK.
  2. Click Change date and time then set the correct time and date.
  3. Click on OK, and a pop-up menu appears, again click on OK.
  4. Make certain your Windows date, time, and date format are correct.

Run as administrator

  • Right-click the Sage 50 Accounts shortcut icon, then click Run as administrator

  2. Click the Compatibility tab.
  3. Under Privilege Level, select the Run this program as an administrator check box.

Reset your license information

For such type of assistance, contact your local IT support.

TLS 1.0 is disabled on your computer

This issue can also occur if TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.0 has been disabled on your computer. As a circumvention to this problem, TLS 1.0 can be enabled and then disabled again after the software licence has been updated. Please refer to local IT support for assistance with this.

 NOTE: Sage 50cloud Accounts v25 and above uses TLS 1.2. If you’re using v25 or above, you can disable TLS 1.0, however, if you use other Sage apps they may still have issues refreshing licence entitlements.  


Configure your firewall

Try contacting your local IT support or firewall vendor for assistance with such particular issues. We advise adding this rule to the top of the list to prevent other rules from taking precedence.
