What is Accelerator Plus

Accelerator Plus is designed to address the issue around "concurrent" users in Sage CRM having Outlook Integration. Concurrent licenses in Sage CRM are designed for intermittant use of Sage CRM but people dont use Outlook like that and expect to be in it all of the time and stay connected without issue to their Sage CRM. With Accelerator Pro and a Sage CRM concurrent license we cannot guarantee that they wont be able to log on an so this would provide a sub-optimal experience. To get around this we created Accelerator Plus which has its own "user" and can map to a CRM user or resource so the data is marked correctly. There are some differences so around behaviour and we detail this below.

User passwords can only be reset from here and users themselves cannot update their own passwords.

License

With Accelerator and MobileX we ship a single test license for demo purposes only. The same will apply for ACPlus. Right now (June 2023) this license is not in the web.config (it will be added in the next release) and so here is the license that can be manually added in.
