What's new in version 20.4
Important:

Compatible versions of Sage Estimating (SQL) will be available in 2017.
Both Editions
Several software fixes. See the Release Notes for more information.
Important! Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 does not support .NET Framework 4.6.1, which Sage 100 Contractor (SQL) requires. Unfortunately this means that Sage 100 Contractor (SQL) cannot support Small Business Server 2011.
