we currently have sage line 50, we are looking at installing it again when our new tax year starts is this possible to have two of the same programes running on the same computer, or if not how do i get around changing the product code name as it wont delete and i dont want two of the same product details on we just want one product code on but easyer description for other staff to find, if this makes any sence?

It is an infringement of the licence terms to install 2 copies on 1 PC so I can not help you do that.

There are 2 ways to fix your product code.

1/ Use a service company like ourselves to do it for you.

2/ Remove all the product from stock, clear all the stock histories this should leave nothing on this product record. You can then delete the product and create a new product with the correct code.

Option 1 has the disadvantage that it will cost you around £50. It will however, have no disadvantages of option2.

Option 2 has the disadvantage that you have to delete the stock histories of all products, that once deleted the absence of the old stock code will give a comment in file maintenance. However if you remove old invoices as part of your year end then this will not be an issue. You will not have any prior year stock histories.
