Act! is updating Premium Cloud service January 13-15, 2017. After that update you must use Act! v19 if you link to their server. More Info

CompanionLink works with Act! v18 and Act! v19 (and a lot of other versions). So you do NOT have to update CompanionLink as long as you are using CompanionLink 7.

Upgrade your Act! v19 & v20

The existing CompanionLink 7 release works great with Act! v19. Check your build number. Run CompanionLink Settings and in the lower right corner is the word "Build" followed by the build number. You need Build 7000 or higher for Act! v19. You need Build 8000 or higher for Act! v20.

Note: Earlier builds of CompanionLink do not have a selection for "v19". In these builds, select "ACT! 2005-2015" to ACT!v19.

If your Build number is 6000, 5000 or lower, you will need to update CompanionLink to version 7 or 8. For many people this is a free upgrade. For everyone else, it has a reduced price. Use our Upgrade Eligibility Form to see which option is right.

If you opt to stay on Act! v18 temporarily, you can disable your Act! link to Premium Cloud.
