Act! Pro upgrade for sale?

 Here Are Your Options.

If you’ve been using ACT! Pro, you may have already discovered that Swiftpage/ACT has discontinued sales of ACT! Pro licenses.
This change leaves you wondering: What now? There are options.


Option 1:
Stay with ACT via Subscription (Premium or Cloud)

Although ACT! Pro is gone, the company continues to offer ACT! Premium, which is now sold on a subscription basis.

  • Pros: Familiar interface, advanced features, cloud-hosted options, ongoing updates.

  • Cons: Subscription cost is higher than the one-time Pro license.


Option 2:
Migrate to Zoho CRM (and Zoho One)

For customers looking for a modern, cloud-based CRM, Zoho CRM is one of the most cost-effective and flexible options.

  • Pros: Affordable, scalable, and comes with automation, AI insights, and integrations across sales, marketing, and customer service.

  • Zoho One Bundle: For a similar cost to ACT Premium, you can get 55+ integrated apps (CRM, Books, Projects, Desk, People, WorkDrive, and more).

  • Migration: ACT notes, history, calendar, and opportunities can all be moved into Zoho CRM.


Which Path Is Right for You?

Final Thoughts

The retirement of ACT! Pro marks the end of an era, but it’s also a great opportunity to modernize your CRM strategy.
Whether you stick with ACT Premium or move to Zoho CRM, the key is to ensure your data, processes, and customer relationships are future-proof.

👉 If you’d like to explore migration options, data mapping, or side-by-side comparisons, I can help you choose the best fit and guide you through the transition.

WHICH LAPTOPS ACT! USERS SHOULD AVOID BUYING?

LAPTOPS ACT! USERS SHOULD AVOID BUYING

The Act! King of North has an excellent blog post warning users about changes by Microsoft that effects Act! users buying new laptops.


Microsoft has starting selling laptops with non-Intel/non-AMD chips. 
The new Snapdragon (ARM processors) are not compatible with Act!.


As of now, Microsoft has not developed a version of SQL Server (the database engine for Act!) that natively supports ARM architecture. Developing and maintaining software for different architectures requires significant resources and testing to ensure stability and performance. Given the relatively smaller market share of ARM-based Windows devices compared to x86/x64 devices*, it might not be a priority for Microsoft at this time.
