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.
