Hi
Where can I purchase the Pastel Accounting Partner DVD as I would like to install Pastel on my PC ?
Hello Jason,
You can get it here.
Which of the Sage Pastel software are you interested in?
Sage Pastel Partner
Sage Pastel Xpress

Bev
Hi,
I am a university student, and one of my subjects requires us to learn Pastel.
Do i need to buy a physical DVD in order to download sage paste partner? Or can it be done online?
Thank you
Hello Odayah,
Is this the AIN2601 subject?
Bev
Yes.
I would also like to explain that my PC does not have a DVD port… is there any other way to install pastel?
Thank you
Hi
You have to buy the UNISA Pastel Partner manual that comes with the DVD’s from the Sage Training Department directly. You cannot get it anywhere else.
You can tell them you need a USB version, and they may be able to help.
Do not buy a second-hand manual as this will have expired already.
Regards
Bev
I would like to have a pastel sage evolution 200 . Manual. Where can I buy it or order. I am living in Namibia, and working as an accountant.
Hy,
I have pastel partner version 8 and i want to have a demo company, i have the disk… how do i go about it?
Hi Abe,
When you put the DVD disk in, and the disk starts the install screen, you go through the step-by-step to install Pastel Partner.
You click on next, and process etc, until the end, and click on finish.
When you open the program by double-clicking the icon on your desktop, you will see that there is a demo company you can enter, the password is demo.
Bev
Morning Abe.
I have replied via email.
Hi am Noxolo Mdoda from Stellenbosch i bought a pastel accounting cd si that u can instal on my laptop but i cant couse doesn’t show Install on it
Hello Noxolo,
You will need to tell me what disk you got. Is it a DVD and what version?
If you put the disk into your laptop it should automatically start running. This is the normal way it starts unless your laptop is an older model and has a CD player and not a DVD player.
Then you will need to choose whether you are installing Pastel Xpress or Pastel Partner, depending on what you bought.
It should say install…
Hope this helps.
Bev

Can I use a desk top computer and laptop with my version 14 package?
I
Yes you can.
Are you networking them together?
Hello! Does Pastel need a printer driver installed before using it? I am struggling here. I can’t use my pastel. Please help!
Hi,
Most definitely.
Even if you don’t have a physical printer you can install a “dummy’ printer like an Epson.
This way Pastel can continue installing.
Bev
Hi,
I’m a university student and I need Sage Pastel for my module AIN2601.
I have purchased the Sage Pastel Training Manual already but my PC does not have a DVD port. Is there perhaps another way to install the software? They are available to download on the Sage Pastel Accounting Training Zone, but when I try to install my computer picks it up as a Trojan virus. Can you please advise what I can do?
Thank you
Hi there,
Yes you can download it from
http://PASTELUPDATE.SAGESOUTHAFRICA.CO.ZA/
This will give you the package.
At times when installing Pervasive AV’s think there’s a virus, just ignore it, they are false positives.
Good luck with the assignment

Hello, I have installed Accounting Partner V18 Nd I followed the instructions.. now after I restarted my PC .. the Accounting Partner V18 don’t want to be opened and it gives me a message “Run-time error53 , file not found:WBtrv32.dll” , can you help what must I do?
Hello Xolelwa,
It is saying that you haven’t installed the Pervasive program, that needs to be installed with Paste. It is either on your DVD or you can download it, and install it.
Hope this helps
http://PASTELUPDATE.SAGESOUTHAFRICA.CO.ZA/ it can be downloaded here.

Hi ,
I just want to know the recommended desktop to buy if i am going to install pastel on it?
Good morning,
Any desktop is fine these days. Pastel loves a new pc.
Bev
Good day
I am currently using SAGE Accounting One Cloud. I have used Sage partner for may years and my last purchase was v18 i think. i want to know if i want to change to a desktop version , will I have to download it on every pc of my various clients and is there a cost involved.
Secondly what are the advantages of cloud to desktop or vice versa.
Hi Raeesah,
You can give me the V18 serial number, and I will get my salesperson to look into it, and tell us what needs to be done.
You will find it on a old invoice.
Bev
HI,
My windows 7 crashed and I have installed a new hard drive. I have managed to get the old hard drive to work and can access files on the drive as an external USB drive. How do I get pastel to work on the new installed drive. I only have the old installation discs and have upgraded several times over the years.
Hi Karen,
What version of Pastel do you need?
I have a licenced Pastel partner 5 and want to change to a newer computor as the previous one is still XP Pro OS. It gives me an error that it “cannot create an Installation support file” How can I correct this?
Hi,
I can not give an exact answer to that without seeing it. My one thought immediately, is that Pastel V5 is too old now. Ive tried to install it on a newer OS’s and it just won’t.
You have to keep it on XP or upgrade it.
You can always email if you need help to upgrade.
Bev
Good evening
I am currently preparing for the AIN2601 module through UNISA and noticed it might be a bit of a pain to get everything I need. This may be a question better suited for the lecturers but wanted to get a jump on this.
For clarification, is it possible to run SAGE pastel partner as needed for the module (that it, with all required features accessible and for the whole semester), without purchasing the training manual and associated registration key you receive with the manual?
Thank you in advance.
George
Hi.
The software you can download. The key will be provided in the room.
Unless you know the software really well, then you won’t be able to do the assignment.
There are quite a few learners selling their manuals from last year. Now is the time to find one for sale.
See you on Telegram.
Bev
