Support Obsolescence Policy

Sage's Support Obsolescence Policy is to support the current release and, in most cases, two prior releases of a product. Customers with an active support plan that are using an obsolete product will receive support through the expiration of the existing support plan. You're not able to renew your support contract unless you upgrade to a supported version of Sage ACT!. If you upgrade prior to the expiration of your support plan, your plan will be transferred to the new product and remain valid until the plan expires.

For access to support, you must have a current support plan.

Customers using unsupported products are encouraged to upgrade to Sage ACT! Pro 2012 or Sage ACT! Premium 2012 and purchase a support plan. You may also visit the Sage ACT! Knowledgebase and Sage ACT! Online Community to browse for answers, post questions, discuss ideas, and share information about Sage ACT!.
