can you please let us know when you have a totally new and running update for sage 50 2020.0?

Question

I have been using the CRA online payroll caculator for my 2020 payroll as I definately cannot trust Sage. Can you please just make a one time brand new update for those of us who have not converted yet... and one that works for sure without having to move files etc? 
 PLEASE we pay a fortune for this program... please get a brand new update made that actually works

Sorry Angie, 
 I thought I had already answered these. 
 1) Yes the 2020.1 (SA_20201CP1.exe) file does include the payroll tables for January 2020, just like other PUP .1 releases in previous years that show up in Dec. Generally you can assume any Jun or any Dec release will include any applicable changes to payroll tables. They may not always affect us here in Ontario but may in some jurisdictions. In past years, the Federal and some provincial governments have gotten crazy with making changes to things like TD1 exemptions rates in Apr or Oct of different years. Any update Sage makes available during those time periods will likely include those updates but they will generally publish information in the Message Centre to let you know. 
 2) I did explicitly address the install part of this in the last paragraph of my previous message. 
 For some clients I updated back in Oct and Nov to 2020.0, I installed the PUP update released Dec 16/19 just before Christmas. I installed this for, I believe, three clients and none had any problems. 
 For the rest where I did the updates, they did not update in 2019, they updated to 2020.1 directly using the file in KB100797, again without any problems that I couldn't resolve without Tech Support. This included a client running on MACs in Parallels Peer-to-Peer. There were no problems converting files for any client so far. 
 
 Note: I just saw your later posts as I was typing this. I decided to post the answer anyway in case others were interested in the answers.

Hi aberi , Confirmed with Product Management today that the below KBs and downloads are the latest available. 
 There are no more updates coming out for 2020.1. If you install the Full product download onto all machines, including a server, this will ensure that the Windows Firewall automatic configuration screen is available for use. Otherwise the firewall needs to be updated manually (see further below for steps).

Download : 
 Version 2020

100797 (FULL product download with Jan payroll update included*) 102293 (2020.1 update only*)

Note also that the CRA released updated claim amounts late for us to include the changes in the 2020.1 release. So these will have to be updated manually for any database.

Basic Claim amounts

102358 (2020) 94871 (2019)

__ Setting Inbound Firewall Rules for MySQL on the File server, see KB 87721 for steps. F or server-only installs (via an Advanced install option available in the download on KB 100797 ) the following rules need to be added to the Windows Firewall manually : 
 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\winsim\ConnectionManager\MySqlBinary\5.7.27\mysql\mysqld.exe 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\winsim\ConnectionManager\MySqlBinary\5.7.27\mysql\mysqladmin.exe 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\winsim\ConnectionManager\MySqlBinary\5.7.27\mysql\mysql.exe 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\winsim\ConnectionManager\MySqlBinary\5.7.27\mysql\mysqldump.exe 
 
 Version 2020.1 uses the new MySQL 5.7.27, also see KB 10080 for which processes and ports to allow through your firewall to ensure that Sage 50-Canadian Edition will operate correctly.
