Hi Aline,

Thanks for using Sage City.

Sage 50 Payroll isn't currently supported with Cloud Servers or in terminal server environments, unfortunately we can't say if or when it will be but the situation is reviewed regularly so the position may yet change.

Your IT can attempt to run the software via Azure but if any environmental issues were encountered then Sage Technical Support would not be able to offer help and advice related to that.

It is possible to set up both Payrolls on a server, and again this could be set up by your IT, it would just be a matter of making sure both laptops can access the server where the data is stored. The other alternative would be to restore backups between the two set ups to be able to work both payrolls on both laptops.

Hi Andy

I have just been looking at this again because being unable to access the other payroll is really becoming a problem for us.

According to a later answer (below), Sage Business Cloud Payroll is a possible solution.

As far as I can see, we already have that but we still cannot find a solution to the two laptop problem.

Is there anyone I can talk this through with please?  We need some help! 

Thanks

Aline

Hi Aline, 

It sounds like the solution you are looking for is Sage Business Cloud Payroll. It's an entirely cloud based solution, meaning that you can run Payroll for as many companies as you like from any device that you can access the internet.

You don't need to install any software, you simply sign up online and access Payroll via your web browser. With this option you would simply log in and out of the required companies as often as you need to, without the need for multiple laptops. 

If you believe you do already have an account with us for Sage Business Cloud - you can contact our technical support team here. If necessary, they can pop you through to another department to help discuss the right solution for your business needs. 

Best Regards,
