Sage 200 Manufacturing End of Life

What you need to know

Important update
For Sage 200 Manufacturing users

Sage has announced that Sage 200 Manufacturing will be discontinued on December 31, 2025. After this date, there will be no further support or updates, making it essential for businesses to explore alternative solutions.

Sage is shifting its focus to core Sage 200 functionality and forming partnerships with other software providers to offer manufacturing capabilities.

What this means for your business

If you rely on Sage 200 Manufacturing, now’s the time to assess your options. While you can continue using the software for now, it will not be included in the 2025 R2 release in October, and all support will end on December 31, 2025.

Without future updates, your business may face issues such as:

  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Compatibility problems with Windows updates
  • Lack of bug fixes or new features
 
To ensure your manufacturing operations remain efficient and supported, we strongly recommend transitioning to a new solution before the end of life date.
