Hello All,

Recently I took a job looking after the accounting for a small business that has been using Sage 50 to manage its books for quite a few years now.

When I started they had a computer that had the 2017 version of Sage 50 Premium installed and were using it to keep record entries well into the current year.   

As I started to input new data, the program prompted me to install a software update. I accepted and when it finished the computer rebooted and I now had the 2019 version of Sage 50 installed along with the 2017 version.  Re-opening our data prompts it to convert all the existing data to the new version. 

I'm just checking to see if this is normal and that if Sage Premium is supposed to upgrade to the new years version on its own. (they don't bother with the payroll modules)   .

If that's the case, I'm not sure why the computer did not have either the 2018 or 2019 installed prior to this.

Thanks.
