Sage Installation Manager enables you to install software updates on numerous workstations from your Accounting server. We recommend that you set up and begin using Sage Installation Manager to install software updates after you have upgraded to Sage Timberline Office 9.7 or later.

You can use Sage Installation Manager to:

check regularly for Sage Timberline Office updates.
notify you when a new update is available.
download new updates automatically or manually to your server.
install updates on your Accounting server and Accounting and Management workstations.

After an update has been downloaded to the server, you can install it on your server and workstations at your convenience.

Email Notification

Sage Installation Manager comes with an automatic email notification system. You can set up members of your staff to receive system notifications about software updates. In addition, you can use Sage Installation Manager’s messaging capability to communicate with members of your staff. For example, you can broadcast a scheduled installation time, and ask your staff to close Sage Timberline Office applications on their workstations before they leave for the day.

Notes:

Although Sage Installation Manager notifies you when an update is available, we will continue to send email notification of software updates as well.
The use of Sage Installation Manager is optional. You can continue to update your server and each workstation manually.
Sage Installation Manager works with Sage Timberline Office Accounting versions 9.7.0 and later.
