Sage 200
Sage 200 follows the guidelines of the Sage Product Support Policy, which states that Sage will provide support for the current and the previous version of Sage 200.
What does this mean?
This doesn’t mean the software will stop working. The software can still be used, but 2nd-line support from Sage is withdrawn, as well as updates in a phased approach. Innov8 will continue to offer support on a best-endeavours basis.
