Sage CRM 2022 R1 was released to the regions today Monday, 31st January 2022. The software has passed its QA process and has been issued as 'GA' to each of the Sage teams globally. Each Sage region is responsible for scheduling the release of the software in their territory because of the need of taking different accounting integrations into account. As a consequence, the local release date of the software is down to each local Sage team.
Please contact your local Sage support team to check when they will give you access to the software.
