Here’s a collection of recent Sage 100 news and product updates we think you should know.
End of Life Plan for Windows 10 Support
Sage has recently published an update that outlines an end-of-life plan for Windows 10 support. As many know, Microsoft has ended support for Windows 10. To help minimize disruption to your business and Sage 100 system, Sage announced the following:
- Sage will test the upcoming Sage 100 payroll tax update for compatibility with Windows 10. This includes the year-end Sage 100 Payroll 2.26.0 release in December 2025.
- Starting with the scheduled release of Sage 100 2026 currently planned for April 2026, Sage 100 will no longer be tested for Windows 10 compatibility. This also applies to releases 2025.2 and 2024.4. We recommend migrating to a supported operating system prior to installing those Sage 100 releases.
Sage 100 Security Update (Action May Be Required)
To strengthen security, Sage has begun blocking outdated encryption ciphers used by Windows and Windows Server when connecting to Sage licensing servers. Customers using older Windows or Windows Server versions that rely on these weaker ciphers may be impacted (including, but not limited to, Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8).
What Happens if Communication is Blocked?
The subscription expiration date in Sage 100 won’t be updated, and the software will continue to run until the stored/static expiration date is reached. After that, you’ll see “subscription expired” messages, and the product will switch to read-only mode after 45–60 days.
Sage Customer Portal Gets an Upgrade
Sage has recently redesigned the customer portal to make self-service faster, simpler, and more intuitive. Here’s a quick summary of key efficiency-boosting updates:
- Simplified navigation to help you find what you need quickly
- Easy access to services and support resources
- Enhanced Self-Service tools to help you manage your account
- Stronger security to protect your information
