[BCB:328:GENERAL WARNING:ECB] Moving Sage 100 versions 2013 or higher NOTE:
- Ensure all data entries are updated, and users are signed off from the Sage 100 program
- Back up your data — See How to backup and restore data, program and system files for Sage 100

Step 1: Download the installation files- Download the Sage 100 Full Product.
- Download the applicable product updates and hotfixes.
See Sage 100: Download Portal Step 2: Determine installation locations- Note down the location of "..\MAS90" directory on your current Sage 100 server.

Step 4: Migrate system info and company data NOTE: You must run Parallel Migration Wizard from the new location, NOT from the previous installation and do not migrate from an installation to itself. - At the new location, go to "..\MAS90\Migration" subdirectory.
- Ensure all users are logged out if migrating from the previous instance, not the copy.
- For Sage 100 Advanced or Premium editions, stop the Sage 100 services (Start, Run, compmgmt.msc, services).
- Right-click Migrate.exe and select Run as administrator to launch the Parallel Migration Wizard.
- Follow the prompts to migrate System Information and company data from the previous installation location or from the copy.
