MAS90 Installation Guides Online

By Wayne Schulz • March 7th, 2009

Installing MAS90 or MAS200? Sometimes (despite our reluctance to do so) referring to the help manual can be – well – helpful.

Sage publishes a fairly comprehensive set of user guides which provide installation tips for MAS 90 and MAS 200 versions 3.70 to 4.30.

MAS90 What’s New Guide

Beginning with version 4.0 Sage also began publishing rather detailed “what’s new” guides which they label as “Customer Upgrade Guide” or “Special Considerations for Upgrading”.

There are separate guides for both MAS90 and MAS200 as well as e-Business Manager.

Install MAS90 Yourself?

Perhaps the biggest question of when reviewing these guides is whether you should tackle the installation (either new or upgrade) yourself.

In general we recommend consulting with a competent Sage Business Partner (and, no, the use of the word competent isn’t to be funny).

There are many different issues that you’ll need to at least considering during an installation including:

  • Third party modifications (installing or upgrading)
  • User rights
  • Correct path for installation (MAS90 will throw a fit if you install to a wrong directory or map incorrectly – and this WON’T show up until sometime later when you’re live)
  • Supported operating systems
  • Integration of third party applications such as FRX, F9 and Crystal Reports
  • Best practices (setting up each workstation so it can share FRX or has access to Crystal Disks).
