Sage50 2020.1 update

SOLVED

I saw a new version of the update, and sage kept messaging me to update, so i did. We are in a server environment, which was working fine until this update. Well, i installed the update on the server, and on my computer, but once the files are updated, they won't open. I moved the file to my workstation, and it worked from there, but once i copied it back to the server, it won't access the company file. What do i do?

I ma on hold for L2 support for over 1/2 hour by now,.

    DZTaxes,

    Are you using the program update that was downloaded in December?  If so, you should use the one that is now available through one of the Knowledgebase articles (search for 100797).

    I would check the firewall on the server to make sure it has let the new MySQL program through (5.7.27).  Were you able to find the error message in the Knowledgebase?

    Hello all,

    KB 100797 has the full version download for Sage 50 CA and 102293  has 2020.1 update only*.

    Our top IMPORTANT NOTE so far is to: Ensure that during Sage 50 software full version install that the option for Yes, I want my Windows Firewall automatically configured to work with Sage 50, is checked. Otherwise, see below for advanced steps and instructions.

     

    If you're still having issues, some options to try include:

    • Re-installing Sage 50 CA version 2020 using the download in KB 100797 (see 260-1009020 for FR) released Jan 6, 2020
      • Need to re-install onto a clean system? Advanced Windows Registry clean up steps are available on KB 10407 (article 260-30260 in French)
    • Setting Inbound Firewall Rules for MySQL on the File server, see KB 87721 for steps.
      •  found that for server-only installs the following rules need to be added to the Windows Firewall:
        • 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
      • Related to third party installations that may be blocking MySQL also review the steps on KB 86048
