Where to purchase, obtain, or generate new product registration keys

 

Sage Customer Support cannot generate new product registration keys nor provide sales quotes.

  • Customers: If you need to purchase new product keys or have new keys generated, contact Sales by calling (800) 390-3643, then select Sales. Sales can verify or validate purchase/entitlement and also generate new product keys if necessary.
  • Business Partners may contact their Partner Service Representative for assistance, including new key generation.
  • Sage Accountants Network (SAN) Partners: Call the Sage Accountants Network (866) 565-2726 for assistance, including new key generation.

 

Where to find product registration information

Product Registration information is available on the Sage Support Portal.

  • Partners (and Sage Accountants Network Partners) can locate product keys by signing into the Partner Portal. Open Account Management, select My Company and view Products
  • Customers can locate product keys by signing into the Customer Portal. Select the Activation Codes tab and choose product from Select Product dropdown list

Your Product Registration information includes and is originally entered during the installation process:

  • Business Partner: Enter your Business Partner's Name or Account Number.
    • Note: Also known as a channel partner or reseller
  • Serial Number: Enter the Serial Number from your product activation information.
  • Customer Number: All current Sage 100 ERP product registrations require a current Customer Account Number. This is a 10-digit number that begins with "400".
    • Note: If your registration contains a different Customer Account Number, it is likely an old (legacy) account number (often beginning with "99" or "87" or "130") and your registration may not be valid. For example, you will not be able to use Federal and State e-Filing (Aatrix) for IRS form printing (1099s, W2s, etc.)
  • User Key: Enter the User Key (also known as Unlock Key) from your product activation information.
  • Product Key: Enter the Product Key (also known as Activation Key) from your product activation information.

Additional information: 

New registration keys for version 3.71 and prior (also known as Legacy Keys) can no longer be generated by Sage. New registration keys that use an old (Legacy or Vantive) customer account number - even for versions up to 4.40 - can also no longer be generated. The physical systems (machines) that generated and stored those keys have been permanently retired and recycled for some years now.
