What to replace Sky Quote Invoice 2007

Hello, I'm sharing my problem:
I've been operating as a craftsman since 2006. So, I've been using the Ciel Devis Factures software version 2007 on my PC currently running Windows 7 for 12 years. I'm planning to change my PC soon and therefore switch to Windows 10, but this version is not compatible with Win10. I've contacted Ciel (now Sage), and the only equivalent solution is subscription-based at 25 Euros excluding tax per month, which won't be compatible with all my backup invoices/quotes. So, 12 years of history will be lost.
I'm looking for a solution that is compatible with Win10 and my backup files. From what I've found, the first version of Ciel Devis Factures compatible with Win10 would be version 2015, but I can't find it except as a demo, which is without a license and limited.
If anyone has an idea, thank you very much.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 67.0.3396.99

    Hello,

    Have you tried COBTP?
    I just discovered this solution that is completely dedicated to building contractors.

    However, I am not sure if it manages imports and from which formats.

    I was looking for a solution like you, that is complete, online, capable of managing a library of items, and also economical.
    I'm diving in, I'm usually fine with changing, but as mentioned in the previous post, when changing software, you definitely have to find your bearings again.

    What matters, therefore, is not that it looks similar, but that the tool is as intuitive as possible.

    Hello Hubert,

    I can recommend easyteo.com which allows you to retrieve the history by exporting from Ciel.

    I just subscribed to this SaaS solution and I am satisfied with it at an affordable price.

    I just took a quick look at easyteo.com ...... 49 euros excluding tax/month is double what Ciel is offering me!!! I only need to create quotes and invoices; plus, it's an online solution, not for me but thanks anyway.

      Hello Hubert, it's a modular solution; for my part, it's billing (€15) and accounting (€20), so €35.
      After all, it's true that it's an online solution.

      Best regards

    EBP offers software with and without a subscription.

    However, retrieving your archives might be less straightforward. Generally, the software has an import feature in "text" format, but for this to happen "almost" automatically, there will likely be a significant amount of formatting to do... and especially, CIEL needs to be able to export its files in TXT format...

    EBP offers an annual subscription for support. This support allows you to have the latest versions of the software as well as telephone assistance regarding the operation of the software.

    In any case, the logic of the two software programs is relatively different, so if you switch software, you will need to get used to the new one...
