Updated: March 6, 2026 Acumatica Always Current Program is a program for SaaS customers that automatically keeps their ERP system on the latest supported version. Instead of large, risky upgrades every few years, the program provides regular, scheduled updates so customers stay secure, supported, and up to date with new features.
How it works
- Acumatica releases two major versions each year (R1 and R2).
- Customers on Always Current are typically upgraded about six months after a major release, once the version has stabilized and service packs are available.
- Customers receive advance notices (90, 60, and 30 days) before their scheduled upgrade.
Upgrade flexibility
Upgrade frequency depends on the edition:
- Small Business / Essentials: upgrade twice per year
- Advanced / Select / Enterprise tiers: upgrade once or twice per year depending on the selected schedule.
Customers needing more control over timing can work with their partner or use Acumatica Flex to choose upgrade dates.
Benefits
The program helps organizations:
- Avoid expensive upgrades
- Access new features sooner
- Receive security fixes and patches automatically
- Stay on a supported version of Acumatica
- Plan upgrades with a predictable schedule.
Important considerations
- Customizations and integrations should be tested in a sandbox before upgrades.
- Major upgrades may temporarily unpublish customizations, which must be republished afterward.
- Planning with your Acumatica partner and maintaining documentation helps ensure smooth upgrades.
✅ In short: Always Current keeps SaaS customers automatically updated with predictable upgrades, improved security, and continuous access to the newest Acumatica capabilities—while requiring proper testing and preparation for customizations.
