    We have recently renewed our Sage 50 in the last week or two and it is now telling us we have 13 days and our system will be view only?  We have manually tried to update and it does not work.  I have been on hold with support for over an hour.  Our service rep (Ty Upshaw) has been non responsive....

    As far as I am concerned the issue is not resolved.  What I gather from this thread is that Sage has no idea what to do about it.  I have attempted a half dozen times to upgrade in the past few months including today.  The system freezes and won't even load pervasive.  Now I am being told that I MUST upgrade by March 15 or I will be removed from Sage altogether.  Great. Just shut me down because YOU can't get the system to either download or activate.  What a total ripoff.  Also, I am an accountant, not a tech expert.  I don't even understand the articles we are being referred to.  It appears we are being left to swing in the wind with no recourse.
