ACT! Pro – It’s b-a-a-a-a-ack!
ACT! Pro is back – for a short time only. Yes, the product that you were told had been discontinued has been “undiscontinued.” Is that even a word?
In any event you can make your purchase of ACT! Pro v24 for $449.99.
And yes, this is a “one time perpetual” purchase. And no, it does NOT include any support although I will send you installation instructions. You can purchase a 30 day support plan for $89 or a year of support for $229.
What you need to know:
- This is the only 64 bit version of Act Pro; you can also install it in a 32 bit environment
- This is a one-time Perpetual license
- This product is not recommended if you use Office 365 and want to integrate to Excel, Word or Outlook
Long time ACT user. I have used it as a rolodex with notes , names and contact information versus and email campaign tool. At one time I had 16 licenses on a networked server running Act 2000.
Updating my Dell computer to new Dell computers. Did the old unregister to re register when I Act was installed. To my surprise “Perpetual” licenses are no longer activated. I am on ACT v16 pro. It was fine for my requirements.
Do you have any deals on desktop version Act 2020 or Act 2021 . I saw $175 on the internet but that may no longer be accurate. I am a single user but two computers – my work from home computer and my office computer.
Thanks for stopping by Tech Benders. The licensing software used to register Act! changed a few years ago. So no, you can’t register any version older than v18 but you did get your money’s worth. The also changed the activation tolerance so 1 license means two installs, not an infinite number as in the past.
I would be careful of buying inexpensive software on the Internet unless you are going through an actual Swiftpage reseller; if the software had been previously registered you will be out of luck. V24 will work with Windows 11; v22 will not.
I can get NEW copies of Act! Pro v22 and v24; there wasn’t a pro v23. 22 is $349.99 and 24 is $449.99. neither one includes support but you can purchase optional support for v24. Tech Benders can support either product at our standard rate of $150/hour. I also send installation/upgrade instructions with your purchase.
One word of warning; neither products will get future patches so if you wish to integrate to Office 365 you need to turn off the automatic updating.
You can purchase Act v24 Pro HERE. Send me an email to purchase Act v22 Pro.
Do you have a moment to discuss ACT! Pro v24 Desktop only? I’m on Pro v22 Update 4 Win10 machine. Thank you.
Act! 24 Pro is currently selling for $449.99. It can only be purchased online; here is the link.
Here are the main things to know:
• I do not know how long the product will continue to be available as theoretically the Pro product has been discontinued
• Act! v24 Pro is 32 and 64 bit compatible
• Act! v24 is Windows 10 and 11 compatible
• If you have Office 365 I highly recommend installing the full version of Office 2019 in 32 bit mode and turning off the automatic updating.
Let me know if you have additional questions or if the link doesn’t work for you.
I have act pro on my desktop and want the same on my laptop. I can enter data while on trip, rhen copy the database and send it my desktop to update via a usb memory stick.
Hi John,
Thanks for reaching out to Tech Benders with your Act questions. Yes, one license of Act can be used on two machines for the same user. And yes, you could backup your laptop and restore it to the desktop. Just be careful that you do it correctly and don’t overwrite the wrong file.

I have been running ACT Pro V21 on a single computer where the motherboard failed and then purchased a new computer with Windows 11 Pro OS. I need to purchase ACT Pro V24 to run on my new computer and have loaded the evaluation program. The SQL Server 2019 Express will not run, so the ACT Pro V24 will not completely install, and run the server to access the database.
I want to make a purchase, but I need technical support to ensure that this will run on my computer and resolve the issues running the server. Can you provide assistance?
Hi Tom,
Sorry about the motherboard; I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately! And yes, with Windows 11 you want Act v24 as it is both Windows 11 and 64 bit compatible.
If it’s any consolation SQL issues are the #1 problem with see with installations. That’s why when you purchase from us we send out explicit directions to turn off your security items that might be blocking the installation. Here’s the purchase link. Once you send me your proof of purchase I will forward you complete instructions. During the purchase you have the option of adding one month of support for $89; you can also add that on after the purchase if for some reasons my directions don’t help you.
Is Act Pro v24 still available?
No, but you can move to Act Cloud for $360/year, Act Premium Desktop (reach out to me for pricing as there are often sales going on) or I can move you to a less expensive but equally good CRM such as Zoho.
