Sage ACT! Pro is a classic desktop customer relationship management (CRM) software designed for small businesses and individuals. It was built to help teams organize customer info, track sales, and look at data in one place.
The product was originally owned by Sage, which is why older versions have “Sage” in the name. However, the Act! Pro software has been discontinued and is no longer sold or updated. Key Features of Act! Pro
When it was active, Act! Pro was known as a “perpetual license” desktop app. This meant you bought it once and installed it on your own computer or local server without monthly fees. Its primary tools included:
Contact Management: Kept track of client names, phone numbers, addresses, and history.
Interaction Tracking: Saved notes, emails, and meetings connected to each client.
Sales Pipeline: Tracked deal opportunities and overall sales performance.
Outlook Integration: Connected to Microsoft Outlook to sync emails and schedules.
Team Limit: Built for small operations, allowing up to 10 users to share a local database. Important Status and Support Updates
If you are thinking about using or currently use Act! Pro, there are very important changes to keep in mind:
Completely Discontinued: New sales of Act! Pro stopped in 2020.
No More Updates: The last version (Act! Pro v24) officially stopped receiving critical updates and bug fixes on August 31, 2024. Older versions (v22 or earlier) have been retired for much longer.
Installation Risks: If you use version 17 or earlier, the licensing server is turned off. If you try to move the software to a new computer, it will lock you out, and you will lose access. What Users Do Today
