Description of Sage Accpac Add-on Product Purchase Policy 
Effective October 1, 2009, sales of Sage Accpac products to existing customers will only be available to customers enrolled in a Software Assurance plan. This policy change will protect customers from potential mixed version compatibility issues that may occur if a customer is not on the latest released version prior to their purchase of additional Sage Accpac products. Additionally, this policy change aligns Sage Accpac add-on product purchase policy with similar practices followed across the broader Sage business.

Products Included in Add-on Product Purchase Policy 
Software Assurance enrollment will be a prerequisite for purchasing any of the following Sage Accpac or Sage-related products: 

· Sage Accpac ERP Edition upgrades – 100 Edition to 500 Edition; 100 Edition to 200 Edition; 200 Edition to 500 Edition

· Sage Accpac database server and user licenses

Sage Accpac modules – General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, G/L Consolidations, Multicurrency, Intercompany Transactions, Transaction Analysis and Optional Field Creator, Purchase Orders, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Products, Order Entry, National Accounts Management, Uni Sales Analysis, Return Material Authorization (RMA), Inventory Control, Serialized Inventory, Project and Job Costing, In-house Payroll, Alerts and Alerts Server, Financial Link Professional, etc.

· Sage Accpac LanPaks (additional User licenses) 

Effect of Enrollment in Software Assurance
All Sage Accpac products require subscription to a Software Assurance plan. Subscribing to Software Assurance will ensure customers continue to have access to the latest Sage Accpac features for their entire product set, including any new products they purchase. Customers who remain current on their Software Assurance plan are eligible to receive all product updates and version upgrades during their enrollment period, maximizing their Sage Accpac investment. Without a current Software Assurance plan, customers will not have access to such features nor other Sage Accpac products.

How to Enroll in Software Assurance
Customers can enroll in Software Assurance by contacting Sage directly at 800-945-8007, or through their Sage Accpac Reseller of Record
