Alternatively, if you want to do it yourself you will need to uninstall both your existing versions of Act and SQL, find a copy of v16, install that, convert your database, uninstall both Act and SQL and then install v22. Since support for Act Pro is unavailable through Swiftpage, the manufacturer, you’ll probably need our help to convert your database. I will email you with the purchase details. Yes, I have a few boxes of Act v 22 Pro left at $369.95. Thanks for stopping by Tech Benders! Yes, Act Pro is the “desktop, non-subscription” form of Act. Let us know if you have any additional questions! Please note that the Pro version DOES NOT include any support although you can purchase a $40 installation support plan optionally.

Your only options now are to purchase Act Premium for $420/year/user (although I can offer you a 10% discount) which includes full Swiftpage support, or make a one-time Pro purchase for $299.99 using this link. I guess you can look on the bright side and realize that you have used Act for 10 years after your initial purchase. There is no “patch” for your version that would allow you to keep using your existing Act 2010 version. Theoretically you can use older versions prior to Act v18 as long as you want provided that you do not have to change machines or do anything that will cause you to have to re-register your Act software. You have now experienced first hand exactly how this licensing change works. There has been a 40% price increase over the last year on the Premium product which is now called “Growth Suite.” The only thing that has changed is the price. If you read the “fine print” it states the monthly price “when purchased annually.” Sales tactic. I want to clarify this before we invest in spending more money on this software and get a surprise next year.Ī: Actual Act is only sold on a yearly, not a monthly, basis. From what I had read is that after we will only be able to use the cloud based service. We want to be able to install on server and run from desktops without paying a high monthly user fee. I am looking to see if the version you are talking about will fit our needs.
We have been very happy with what it had offered for our business. Q: We have been using ACT! for the past 20 years and really do not want to go to another CRM service. Q: >We do not want to go to a cloud based system.Ī: You absolutely do NOT have to be “cloud based.” Act remains a hybrid platform that can either be hosted or installed on your own server. There is so much misinformation floating about and I appreciate having this platform to dispel the rumors. Thanks for visiting and more importantly for sharing your question. Please contact the Act Consultants at Tech Benders if you need help. I am committed to helping each and every one of you to find a solution to this problem. And, if you are in an older version of Act!, now might be a good time to upgrade.

Theoretically if you apply the update patch it should be business as usual the plan is that your existing license number will be magically replaced with the new license number.
#Act by sage 2016 upgrade
ACT! Subscription Users in v17: You should upgrade to a newer version prior to 1/1/19.ACT! Subscription Users in v 18- 20: You should apply the appropriate update patches will be released starting on 11/20/18 that must be applied prior to 1/1/19.However, being from Florida, land of the hurricanes, I like to be prepared and advise my clients to be as well. I could be much like Y2K we all expected the worse and escaped with barely a bump. Honestly, at this point no one really knows what might happen on Januwhen the new licensing system takes place. I have been selling, supporting and customizing ACT! for over 20 years and this change will have a bigger impact on ACT! than anything I’ve ever seen before. This change will impact all existing ACT! users. I learned today that SwiftPage will be issuing an Act licensing update as of January 1, 2019.
