Invalid add-on (Sage 200 add-ons are not compatible)

Sage 200 checks that the Packaged Version of the add-on matches your version of Sage 200. This ensures the add-on has been built and tested against the correct Sage 200 version and will operate correctly.

If you see the Invalid Add-On message, this means the Packaged Version of the add-on does not match your Sage 200 version. The message will include details about the add-on version:

• Version unknown: The Packaged Version of the add-on is not known because the add-on was packaged before Sage 200 Professional 2026 R1.

• Version not compatible: The Packaged Version of the add-on is older than your Sage 200 version.

To resolve this:

• Remove the invalid add-on. To do this, open System Administration > Add-Ons, then right-click the add-on and select Remove.

• To continue using this add-on, contact the developer to get an updated version of the add-on that is packaged for your version of Sage 200.
