When are Microsoft and Sage ending their support for my Microsoft Windows XP operating system?

Posted By

Microsoft is ending its support for Microsoft Windows XP as of April 8, 2014. Once Microsoft stops support for Windows XP, Sage will also stop supporting Sage 50 on computers using Windows XP.  

Although the current version of Sage 50 will continue to operate on computers using Windows XP, we highly recommend that Sage 50 customers running on Windows XP upgrade their operating system fairly soon to a supported version of Windows. Going forward, in addition to security concerns, there is the increased risk that some features and functionality of Sage 50 will stop working on Windows XP because updates released after April 8, 2014 will not be tested or verified on computers running Windows XP. Furthermore, after July 2014, subsequent Sage 50 updates will not be able to be installed on computers running Windows XP.  Sage 50 customers not on a supported version of Windows will need to upgrade to a supported version of Windows in order to install Sage 50 updates.

  • I installed Windows 7 and my Simply Accounting 2006 no longer recognizes Crystal Reports, which means i can no longer email invoices.

    Is there a fix for it. I tried using the Simply Accounting forms, but somehow they are tied to the Crystal Reports . Other than that , the program works no problem.

    I have no need to upgrade, and I don't see why i should have to. A fix would be nice.

    Hi Livio,

    You may need to install Crystal report writer in your new windows and make sure that under report and forms, the path is pointing to the correct template. 

    For more information, you can follow the link below.

    Error: "Crystal Report Writer could not be found. To customize forms and reports, please install Crystal Report Writer." - KB26945

    Hope this helps.

    The required .NET Framework 4.5 is not available on Windows XP Pro SP3. So don't install Sage 50 V2014 to it.
