If you had Sage 50 installed on another computer, ensure that the program is not still running. If you’re transferring the software to a new computer, uninstall it from the old system before starting the installation on the new computer.

Step 3: Download and Install Sage 50

If you don't have the installation CD, you can download the software from the Sage website.

• Choose Installation Location: You can use the default location for installation or select a custom directory.
• Enter Product Key: Enter the serial number and license key when prompted. This ensures that the installation is registered and authentic.

1. Complete Installation: Click “Install” and wait for the process to finish. The system will copy the necessary files to your computer.
2. Finish Installation: Once installation is complete, you’ll be prompted to restart your computer. Save any work and click “Finish” to exit the installer.
