How to move or copy Sage MAS 90 or 200 to a new location.

Has your server just crashed? Are you moving to a new office? Are you replacing an old server? No need to worry. The Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP applications can easily be relocated to another directory, hard drive or even another server, with you data intact.
Before beginning you might want to ask yourself how comfortable you are with this size project. Software Solutions of Arkansas will be happy to do it for you. Having said that, if you are confident in your IT staff, here are the instructions.

For Sage MAS 90 version 4.0 or later:

bullet

Copy (do not move) the entire..\MAS90\ directory to the new location. Moving the directory is not recommended. If there is an interruption during the move process, data can be damaged or lost.
bullet

In the new location, using Windows Explorer, rename the ..\Uninstall Information\ folder.
bullet

Reinstall System Setup, Library Master, and the same original modules at the server so that InstallShield records a new installation Note: If security was enabled during the original installation of Sage MAS 90, it must be enabled at the new server. Sage MAS 90 cannot be accessed if security is not enabled. Any third-party enhancements must be reinstalled as well.
bullet

Create new mapping on workstations
bullet

Re run Workstation Setup at all workstations and replace any shortcut icons that point to the original location. If the new server has the same name and path as the original server, there is no need to run Workstation Setup again.
bullet

Start Sage MAS 90 from the new location to verify that the program and the company data are still accessible and that no errors occur.    Notes: (a) To verify that Sage MAS 90 is running for the new location, select File\Run\*INFO from Sage MAS 90, and verify the path. (b) After the copy of Sage MAS 90 is complete, the original ..\MAS90\ directory can be deleted.
For Sage MAS 200 version 4.0 or later: Call for instructions. MAS 200 requires more steps and more complex mapping.

To activate this option, you’ll need to use the MAS 90 FILE - RUN menu.  Use this utility if your check printing has been interupted and upon re-entering MAS 90 or MAS 200 you find that you can’t start printing checks again. This utility will set the software straight and you’ll be ready to start printing checks again. This works in all modules that have check printing.  Click File/Run. At the Program Name prompt, type in GLWSKA and hit OK.
