Compatibility issues

We don't support 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365.

Sage 300 CRE version 26.1 uses SAP Crystal Reports runtime SP38 (64-bit). This can cause issues with older Crystal Reports runtime versions that other products use.

You can't install Sage 300 CRE, Sage 50, and Sage 300 software on the same computer. They're different products that use incompatible versions of Pervasive/Actian. If you need to run these products concurrently, contact your Sage Consultant for guidance.
