Withdrawal of Support for MS SQL Server 2000 with Sage 200 2010

Sage will be withdrawing support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with the release of Sage 200 2010. Microsoft withdrew mainstream support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in early 2008 and are due to withdraw ‘Extended Support’ in 2013.

In addition, Microsoft released SQL Server 2008 in April 2008. Sage 200′s development policy is to only support the current and prior release of this database platform with it’s software applications therefore from the 2010 release we will support Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and 2008 only.

We recommend customers use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard as this is required for those customers utilising BI, and it is the latest version
