▼Updating from older versions

Important Notes:

You can find all Product downloads for the supported versions of Sage Fixed Assets on the Download portal. See Sage Fixed Assets: Download Portal.
If you install 2027.0 without following the required update path, you can’t convert databases directly to 2027.0. They’ll appear with a Conversion Status of Incompatible Version. They'll require a Sage Expert Services engagement to update. See Sage Expert Services (SES) for details.
For in-place updates, you must do a Database Conversion for all versions of the program 2026.1 and prior. When updating from versions 2026.0 and earlier, the update paths are:

If updating from 2025.1 or 2026.0, you can either:

Uninstall the existing version, install 2027.0 and convert the databases.

Or first update to 2026.1 (See How to update to Sage 50 Fixed Assets 2026.1 for details). Then update to 2027.0 and convert the databases

If updating from 2024.0 or 2024.1, you can either:

Uninstall the existing version, install 2026.1 and convert the databases, then update to 2027.0 and convert the databases

Or first update to 2025.1 (See How to update to Sage 50 Fixed Assets 2025.1 for details). Convert the databases, then update to 2026.1 (See How to update to Sage 50 Fixed Assets 2026.1). Finally, update to 2027.0 and convert the databases

If updating from 2023.0 or 2023.1, you can either:

Uninstall the existing version, install 2024.1 and convert the databases. Uninstall 2024.1, then install 2026.1 and convert the databases, then update to 2027.0 and convert the databases

Finally, update to 2027.0 and convert the databases

If updating from 2012.0 – 2024.1:

You can't convert the existing databases directly to 2027.0. You'll need to migrate to a new environment using backup files. See How to migrate Sage Fixed Assets Single User products for more information.
Company Backups (.BBK) files created in prior versions back to 2012.0 will restore directly into the 2027.0 product. You'll need to do the restore on a new system.
