DOWNLOAD OF THE LOCAL AGENT
Sage 50 is installed on a server. To enable data sharing, it is necessary to download a program (local agent) that will allow data transmission with Sage 50.
After the connection step, you will have two options to download and install the local agent on the same server as your Sage 50 instance:
If Sage 50 is hosted on your computer, you can directly download the program by clicking on Download.
If Sage 50 is hosted on another server, you have the option to send the program via email to the person or company hosting Sage 50 so they can download and install it.
