Hi Marc Ou ,

Thanks for reaching out. It's important to note that it is not possible to install two editions (Pro, Premium, and/or Quantum) of the same version year (e.g., 2024) on the same system. However, installing different version years of Sage 50 editions on the same desktop is possible.

Here are a few suggestions that might help you:

• Different Version Years: If your Quantum and Pro editions are from different version years, you should be able to install them side by side on the same desktop.
• Upgrade Paths: For managing company files between different Sage 50 versions, remember that you can upgrade a company file (e.g., from Pro to Quantum) but not downgrade (e.g., from Quantum to Pro). This is due to the enhancements and features added in higher versions that are not supported in lower versions.
• Resolution Steps: If you're facing issues related to version compatibility, consider the following steps outlined in the articles:
  • Use the new product shortcut to open the recently upgraded version.
  • Update your Sage 50 software to the newest version for additional features and compatibility.
  • Restore a backup made before any updates if you're trying to access data in a previous version.
  • For detailed guidance on which version suits your needs and how to manage your company files, consult the "Software Upgrade Paths from Simply Accounting to Sage 50 Canada" guide.

If you require further assistance or have specific needs regarding version management, I recommend contacting Sage 50 Sales at 888-261-9610 or chatting with support for personalized advice.

For more detailed information, you can refer to these articles below:

• Error and version upgrade handling
• Can I open a data file in two different versions?

Hope this helps. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.

Warm Regards,
