For unsupported products, customers are encouraged to visit the ACT! Knowledgebase to see if answers to your questions are available. We also offer a customer community where you can browse for answers, post questions, discuss ideas, and share information about your ACT! experiences.

Customers with a support plan and an obsolete product will receive support through the expiration of the existing support plan. However, you will not be able to renew your support contract unless you upgrade to a supported version of 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.

Third-party add-on products are not supported by Sage. For details go to www.actsolutions.com. For a complete list of add-on products from Sage Software partners please refer to the specific add-on section.
