Converting to 64-bit Version of Sage 100 2021–2025

Important! Sage 100 2026 is a 64-bit only application.

  • If you’re installing on a server with an earlier 32-bit version of Sage 100 2021–2025 installed, the 32-bit version will no longer work.
  • Before installing Sage 100 2026, we recommend converting any earlier 32-bit versions to 64-bit using the 32_64_Bit_Switch_Utility.exe.
  • If running the switch utility is not possible, then install Sage 100 2026 on a server that does not have a 32-bit version installed.

The following table shows the bit versions for Sage 100.
