Resolution

[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
Microsoft Installer prevents multiple installations of the same version on the same server
If you're moving the installation to a new location on the same server, you must uninstall Sage 100 after backing up the data
Ensure all third-party add-ins, programs, or enhancements are available from the appropriate vendor

1. Download the installation files

Download the Sage 100 Full Product.
Download the applicable product updates and hotfixes.

2. Determine installation locations

Note down the location of "..\MAS90" directory on your current Sage 100 server.
Determine the new installation location.
If the new location is inaccessible from the current server, copy the "MAS90" directory to the new location. Ensure it's in a separate directory from the new installation directory.

3. Install Sage 100 at the new location

Install the current version of Sage 100 or higher at the new location.
Apply all product updates and hotfixes.
Install any third-party add-ins, programs or enhancements according to their instructions.
Transfer any company data and Paperless Office documents to the new location.

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.

5. Workstation setup

Run the Workstation Setup on workstations to connect to the new installation.

NOTE: You can't copy the company (MAS_xxx) into another installation without the MAS_SYSTEM for 2018 or higer. It's best to migrate data to the new installation.
