This post caught my eye..... we have had similar experiences on several COS6 sites when installing the latest version of Sage Accounting and Payroll applications. They'll install fine on Windows 7 clients, however on Windows 10, at the end of the install they're unable to communicate with Sage's licensing/activation server and run in trial mode. Like Jeff, the workaround we discovered was to login with a local admin non domain account to activate the product, after which the application worked fine with any domain user account. I should add that the domain user accounts all had full local admin rights.

Installing the same Sage products on a COS7 site with Windows 10 clients, we did not have this problem. At all our sites COS is the PDC.

Sorry not to be able to add any real technical input to this, other than like Nick said, COS7 may well resolve this for you, as indicated by our experiences with Sage.


Cheers....... Andy
