How to install or upgrade Sage ERP MAS90 or MAS200 4.5

by

Have you just received your download link or DVD of Sage ERP MAS 90 or 200 v4.50? If so you probably have questions about exactly how to install this latest release.

First, let me recommend that if you’ve never installed the upgrades for Sage ERP MAS 90 or 200 that you contact your Sage business partner. There are multiple things that they will review with you – including reviewing your system to see if you have any custom enhancements that require upgrading BEFORE installing the upgrade.

TIP: Remember that if you have third party integrated solutions such as Starship, PC Charge, F9, FRX, AccuPos, Avalara, INSynch, etc — you must consider whether those integrations also require an upgrade at the same time you are upgrading your core Sage ERP MAS 90 or 200.

If you’re still determined to upgrade your system without the help of a consultant – here are some quick tips:

  • Do the upgrade first as a test. This avoids the possibility that you’ve overlooked something and need to restore your data from a backup (while your company’s users sit tapping their fingers wonder when the system will be up).
  • Make a backup. Even if you think you have a great backup – take a copy of all your relevant MAS90 folders and copy them to a separate location somewhere. You can never have enough backups.
  • Engage users in testing the system before allowing everyone back in. Usually you have three or four power users who are experts at checking to be sure their accounting system is functioning exactly as it was before – harness their willingness to help!

Here’s some technical information from Sage which will assist you in the technical install process:

MAS90 Supported Hardware, Networking and Operating System Platforms – 12/31/09

by

The supported hardware and software platforms for Sage MAS 90 have been updated as of 12/31/09. The list below shows exactly what configurations Sage support.

Note that Windows 7 is stated as not supported with versions prior to 4.3.

Tip: While we do not recommend running MAS 90 on un-supported platforms we’ve found that you may be able to run it on Windows 7 32-bit (avoid 64-bit) by using the MAS 90 CD to run workstation setup on each of your stations. If you don’t use the CD you’ll likely receive some type of error (under Windows 7) about the workstation not being able to map to the server.

FRX does not appear like it will be supported under Windows 7 64-bit.
