Just Terrible.

Sage demanded I pay a support fee of R3000-00, which reluctantly paid, if I wanted to continue using Sage Pastel. Something that was never an issue since I've started using Pastel about 5 years ago. Now, if I do not pay then I cannot have access to my own data. Is that even legal? I have paid the support fee on the 7th of March already and I still cannot use Pastel. Apparently I now need a new activation code, which is not forthcoming. I am also not getting any response from my e-mails and questions as well. A week has passed and Sage Pastel is a no-show. Where is the so-called "support"?

If you are a business owner and looking for an accounting application, then I wouldn't suggest Sage Pastel. The service is absolutely terrible and the software is average.
