Summary
When installing the service pack, we do an entitlement check to ensure customers are on an active support plan for Sage BusinessWorks. If your entitlement screen doesn’t populate, use the steps below to troubleshoot.
Description
A successful entitlement check during a service pack install will populate the registration ID, System Manager serial number, and an entitlement code. If you can't complete the entitlement check, the installation of the service pack will stop.
