Sage to view only

SUGGESTED

I have a client that has Sage 50 on his computer.  This is his own copy of the program and I have my own copy.  I do all the data input on my copy at my own home office and then just update his version once I have finished entering everything.  He only uses his copy to view the data I have been entering on my end.   Just got his renewal notice and the price has jumped to over $600 for the Pro version.   This is nearly double what he paid just a few years ago and it so expensive considering it's only used for viewing info and no processing is done on his end.   Anyone have any suggestions on what Sage might have to offer that would allow him to view the information from my version without him having to fork out all that money for a program not even being utilized except to look at data.   Is there a way to be able to share what I have online somehow so he can view the information.   There are several different versions of Sage products but I am not familiar enough to know what would work best for him without costing him and arm and a leg.

    First check what his subscription is, sounds like payroll is part of it. Below are what Staples is currently charging for Sage. 50 Pro 229.99 with no payroll and 574.99 for Sage 50 Pro with Payroll.

    As far as I know it should not include payroll as I do that on my version.  I think I will have to dig a little to see why they are charging so much if it's supposed to be just a regular pro version.

    Hey , thanks for reaching out!

    Something else to keep in mind, is that inactive Sage 50cloud subscriptions still allow you to "view" company data. The software goes into read only mode. In other words, your client could just keep up with latest downloads / updates to match your version, which would allow them to see their data. Do they really need edit access?

    Hope this helps, otherwise, I confirm that retail offers perpetual / non-subscription licenses as mentioned above.

    Warm Regards,
