The Sage multi-user mode is one such important feature embedded in this popular software. It allows you and your co-workers (irrespective of wherever they are- in the same office or any other location) to access your company data within Sage 50 cloud, in real time. In Sage Drive Multi-User, several users can be granted access simultaneously. It even enables the users to read or write new and existing transactions in the company data files in Sage Drive.

However, one thing we can’t ignore is that no software can be fully free of errors or bugs and Sage 50 has its fair share of these as well.

Let’s first get to know what this error is ..

What are the Sage Network Access for Multi-User Mode issues?

Sage users often face such issues while working in multi-user mode. When they look to access the Sage network, two concurrent user sessions refuse to open up and they get an error message confirming that the access to the Sage network is denied. The error message may also state that the database files are read-only and the user requires sufficient rights to access the same. faulty file permissions usually result in this issue but, there may be other contributors as well.

How to Resolve Sage Network Access for Multi-User Mode Issues?

While you use the multi-user mode, make sure not to start the Sage software from any shortcut icon ( For example, a shortcut to your company .sai file). If you open the software normally, by using the standard shortcut and specifying the company location from the â€™Select an existing company option, the possibility of such multi-user mode issues becomes minimal.

If you are facing problems while logging into the multi-user mode, particularly after the conversion of data files, removing the relevant user may not help your cause. Refreshing data may not be possible as well. You need to ensure that a multi-user license for every additional machine/user has been acquired. If you try to set up on any other machine without the multi-user license etc., Sage will surely show an error.

You can designate one machine as a server and the others should serve as users. You can access your server from a remote desktop. This means, even if you work on the machine directly, every other user needs to install the package. You can also setup a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to link to the network.

We hope the discussion above would help you a great deal to fix the Sage Network Access for Multi-User Mode Issues on your computer. If you are still unable to resolve this error or if you encounter any difficulties in performing the activities outlined above, we recommend that you should consult with an experienced Sage professional.
