Adept Annual Renewal Fees for our range of Sage 50 & 50cloud Add-Ons

If your Adept Add-On is mission critical, before doing a major version upgrade of Sage from example “v28 to v29” you should check our website first.  You can see this in the top right hand corner of a Tool’s tile (see right ). You can also see the current version on the page for your Tool in the Add-On Compatibility and Pricing Section (see right).

Adept Annual Licence Fees

In order to keep your Adept Add-On up to date with changes that Sage are continually making to their software our licences need to be reactivated once a year by paying an Annual Licence Renewal fee.

  • Currently the price of Adept Annual Licence Fees Renewal is 20% of the RRP of the Tool, per Adept Add-On per year.
  • Your first Annual Renewal Fee will be due one year from the Full Licence purchase date.
  • Annual Renewal Fee dates are rounded to the end of the month that they fall in.
  • During the renewal month your Add-On will show a blue light bulb to warn you that the renewal is due.
  • The blue light bulb feature is dependant on the version of your Adept Add-On (as shown in its About Dialog) being at least v22.x.x.
  • You can renew at any time during the renewal month by going to the Licence Dialog in your Add-On and clicking the Buy Now button.
  • Once the renewal month has been passed your Add-On will automatically show its Licence Dialog and not proceed any further until the Renewal Fee is paid.
  • When you pay an Annual Renewal Fee the system will add one year to the current annual renewal date.
  • If you pay the Annual Renewal Fee over a year late you will be charged double the current Annual Renewal Fee to reactivate your licence. In this situation the annual expiry date will be set to one year from the date that you pay the double renewal fee.
  • Please note that providing your Adept Add-On’s licence is valid for New Sage 50 v21 there is no additional fee if you upgrade to Sage 50 v22 or higher.
  • If you use your Adept Add-On with Old Sage 50 v20 or earlier then Annual Renewal fees will not be collected until you decide to upgrade to a newer version of Sage 50
  • If you upgrade your Sage 50 software from v20 or earlier to v21 or higher then you may have to immediately pay a single or double annual licence fee depending on how old your original Adept licence is

Your Internet browser will be started and you will be taken to a shopping cart page where you can pay for the upgrade using any standard Debit, Credit Card or a PayPal account.

You don’t need a PayPal account! The first screen you will see asks you to “Log in to PayPal” by entering an email address, but it’s actually just asking for your email address so it can send you a receipt for the payment. To proceed, enter your email address and select “Next”.
