Running Sage 50 quantum 2017 R1.
Ready to upgrade to 2018.
Do I have to upgrade to 2017 R2 first?
Nope. Since the full install featuring the 2018.1 update is available, you should download and install that as well.
The second number in the sequence is the pertinent one. The first number in the build always relates to the year of the release, so for our purposes it is irrelevant. You know you have release 2018 because…

OK, thanks.
Though support only sent me the link to 2018.0 so I guess I'll have to do it all over again for 2018.1 Ugh!
The link that John provided above contains the 2018.1 update.

Kathleen and J Parr:
I downloaded and installed Sage-50 Q 2018 from a link that was sent to me by Sage Support
Thought that was 2018 not 2018.1 Didn't see J Parr's message until after I had installed. Application = Network and 15 workstations.
The "About" shows as below - is that 2018.1?
Release: Sage 50 Quantum Accounting 2018
Build: 25.1.00.0131
Yep, you're good.
J Parr, appreciate the quick update...but...how is a user to know that?
What substantiates or how does the Build correlate to the version and revision? Build may mean something to Sage, but if not equated to what the user sees how are we to know?
Is there a table or list someplace for look-up?
Thanks!
The second number in the sequence is the pertinent one. The first number in the build always relates to the year of the release, so for our purposes it is irrelevant. You know you have release 2018 because it says so in the Release line above the build. The next number is the service release. You have build 25.1, so you have 2018.1. If that had read 25.0, you would have just the base release of 2018.
Wonderful explanation! Thanks so much John
You're welcome.
