Important Information

If the user has more than one Sicon Add-on, they must all be upgraded at the same time (for the version they are on). The User must not install just a few of them as this may well cause other Sicon add-ons to stop functioning correctly. Therefore, if the version of the Sicon Add-ons is v21.1 you should only install additional / upgrade existing add-ons of the same version, unless you wish to upgrade to Sicon v22 in which case you must upgrade all add-ons to Sicon v22.

It is also important that all users are logged out of Sage at the time of install / upgrade.

The Sicon CRM add-on will be displayed in the main Sage 200 Menu depending on the features assigned to that role.
