System Requirements: Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate version 24

Internet Access Required
In order to install and use Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, your server and workstations must have internet access to properly license and entitle your purchased products/modules.

Note: Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, Sage 50, and Sage 300 cannot be installed on the same computer because they use different versions of Pervasive that are not compatible with each other.

SQL software

If you plan to use Sage SQL Replicator, you will need SQL Server version 2016 SP1 or later. You can use the Sage SQL Installer (in the Sage Administration program group). The size of the replicated data in SQL Server is larger than the original Pervasive data because Sage SQL Replicator adds views and indexes the data. You can use SQL Express (available at no extra cost) if your database isn't too large. Otherwise, you must use full SQL Server (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition). See How do I estimate what the size of my SQL Database will be once I run Sage SQL Replicator? for more information.
