Register Sage 200

You must register Sage 200 before you can use it. Your licence is activated via the internet using the Sage Licensing Service. To access this service, you must have an active internet connection that is not blocked by firewalls.

You normally register when you install Sage 200, but you can update the registration from System Administration at any time, for example if you purchase additional user licences or additional modules.

If you are using Sage 200 Professional deployed on-premise, you can also register offline.
