Act! v18 brings a host of compatibility and productivity enhancements, new Act! emarketing administrative features, a fresh, modern look for Act! Premium for Web, and more! Extend the power of Act! and streamline efficiency with an all-new web API platform that allows for meaningful connections to business productivity tools, and stay up-to-date with the newest features available for Act! with flexible subscription plans – now including expert technical support.

Google Chrome™ Compatibility

Google released Chrome™ version 46 on October 16th, which removed a specific popup function in Chrome™ that is unfortunately used in over 200 areas within Act!. This has caused disruption to Act! Premium customers using the web interface in the Chrome™ browser.

Windows® 10 Compatibility

Microsoft announced the release of Windows® 10 on July 29, 2015. Upgrading to Windows® 10 introduces many new features, some of which may affect Act!. We highly recommend performing a complete backup of your Act! database prior to upgrading to Windows®, though the current version of Act! (v17) is fully supported. We have additional recommendations to make your transition as smooth as possible - please visit the following Knowledgebase article to review our best practice guide: KB#38171.
