That's the confusion, the name.

Sage50 Accounts standard maybe being discontinued, but not Sage50 Accounts Cloud.

Don't be fooled by the cloud bit, that as I said above is just for backups and remote working.

The company file is kept locally and is the software is NOT due to be discontinued.

Its a relatively new product. I believe versions less than V26 may be now not supported so users need to upgrade.

They have many different versions so confusion is easy.
