Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite

Good day. I know some of this has been covered, but I was hoping for a clearer answer for a newbie. I am purchasing a new PC for a client and need to move MAS 90 from the old to the new.

I believe I have to back up the c:\MAS90 folder (and make sure it isn't running).  Do I have resintall the software and then copy over the backup over top of the new MAS90 folder?  Any other procedures would be helpful too. I appreciate the response. Thank you.

You don't say what version but you should be able to just copy the MAS 90 to the machine and rerun the workstation set up.  This assumes that you aren't doing anything with alternate directories for the data files.

Sages instructions are slightly different for versions 3.71 and lower and Version 4.0 and higher.  For 3.71 and lower it is copy and re-run workstation setup.

For 4.0 and higher, they recommend you Copy, rename the ..\Uninstall Information folder and then reinstall the software.  It is important the same modules are installed and any service packs, hot fixes and service updates be reinstalled as well.  If there are any third party add-ons, they will need to be reinstalled as well.  You may find it will want to re-convert data when you try to go into a company for the first time.  This is normal if service updates have been reinstalled and usually does not take a lot of time. 

If you are not the reseller, it might be good to give the reseller a call.

You should also check Sage's supported platform matrix.  Windows 7 is not compatible with some versions.
