How to update to Sage Fixed Assets Lite Depreciation for Sage 50 2027.0

Before you Begin

• The download of Lite Depreciation for Sage 50 version 2027.0 is a full version of the program.
• For new installations of the Sage Fixed Assets program. See Download Sage Fixed Assets Lite Depreciation for Sage 50 2027.0 for the product download. You must log into the customer portal with a valid support plan to access the download.
• There are prerequisites required for Sage Fixed Assets to run properly:
  • If the .NET 4.8 framework is missing, the installer installs it. The system will need to reboot before finishing the .Net installation
  • Sage Standalone SBDDesktop
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 – 2022 Redistributable Package (x86) See Error: "The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.CRPE' threw an exception." for a download of the prerequisite installation if it fails
• You need to do a Database Conversion for all versions of the program 2026.1 and prior. If not updating from 2026.1 see the Updating from older versions section below.

Updating from 2026.1 through the Sage Advisor Update 

Note: When you open Lite Depreciation for Sage 50 2027.0 for the first time, In-place Conversion converts the last database used. If only one database exists, you don't need to do anything else.

• If you have multiple databases to convert, use the Conversion Utility for Single User and Lite Editions. See How do I convert data? for details. 

Important Notes:

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