Firewalls & Sage Peachtree
Sage Peachtree 2012 and its database, Pervasive, can be mistakenly identified as an intrusion threat by many firewall and anti-virus programs. If not addressed properly, this may cause installation to fail or Sage Peachtree may not start or run properly.
Before Installing Sage Peachtree
If you have not already installed Sage Peachtree, it is critical that you do the following:
1.Turn ON your firewall software. Which firewall am I using?
2.Turn ON firewall alerts. How do I turn on firewall alerts?
3.If prompted by your firewall, always Allow or Unblock the following files:
- PEACHW.EXE
- W3DBSMGR.EXE
- W3LGO103.EXE
- PEACHUPD.EXE
- PEACHTREEPREFETCHER.EXE
- AIS2.SERVER.CONSOLE.EXE
- SmartPostingService2012.exe
Some firewalls, like ZoneAlarm, may prompt you to allow additional files. You must allow these additional files as well.

If you have already installed Sage Peachtree and are unable to open a company, you need to set your firewall to allow Sage Peachtree and its database, Pervasive, to run.
