Sage Fixed Assets - Database Conversion 

 NOTE: If updating from 2025.1, there’s no Database Conversion. 

Open Sage 50 Fixed Assets 2026.0 for the first time. It will automatically convert the last database opened. If there’s only a single database, you don't need to do anything else.

• If you're converting several databases, use the Conversion Utility for Single User and Lite Editions. See How do I convert data? for details. 

Updating from older versions: 

 NOTE: You can find all Product download for the currently supported versions of Sage Fixed Assets on the Download portal. See Sage Fixed Assets: Download Portal.  

 CAUTION: You can't convert databases from 2023.1 or earlier directly to 2026.0 without following the update paths below. They’ll appear with a Conversion Status of Incompatible Version. They’ll require a Sage Expert Services engagement to update. See How do I contact Sage Expert Services? for details.  

Note: For all versions 2024.1 and earlier, you must convert the databases for in-place updates. When updating from versions 2024.1 and before, the update paths are:

  • Uninstall the existing version, install 2026.0 and convert the databases
