 NOTE: 

  • First, make sure Sage 100 is already installed at the server. Note the installed path location.
  • For the Advanced or Premium editions, have ready the Port Number and Server Name that the Sage 100 Service or Application is running on.
  • If you are encountering installation problems or errors during printing, make sure to set Windows User Account Control to "Never Notify" first, prior to following the instructions for installation.

Install Workstation Setup for Sage 100 Standard

  1. Close other programs.
    • Note: Do not close antivirus, antispyware, and script-blocking software unless it is actually interfering with the installation.
  2. Map a drive letter to a share point that's at least one folder above the MAS90 folder where the Sage 100 Standard server component is installed.
    • Note: The Workstation Setup wizard will run only properly if it is executed from a mapped drive letter (such as "M:\MAS90\..").
      Do not run the Workstation Setup wizard from a UNC path (such as "\\server\sharepoint\MAS90") or through Network Neighborhood
      even if it works, it can result in slower performance compared to using a mapped drive letter.
  3. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the "...\MAS90\Wksetup" folder where Sage 100 is installed.
  4. Right-click Autorun.exe and select Run as Administrator
    • Note: Running via Autorun.exe ensures prerequisites will be checked for and installed if necessary.
      Run as Administrator ensures elevated permissions. If you install using the Windows installer (msi file), it may not.
  5. Follow the steps in the Workstation Setup wizard.
  6. Select Install Sage 100 Workstation click Next
  7. Select Program Folder where the Sage 100 Standard Workstation group will be added to the Start menu and select Next then click Install
  8. Follow the prompts
  9. Select Finish when installation is complete
  10. Workstation Update:
    • For the Sage 100 Standard edition (formerly Sage MAS 90 for versions 4.40 or 4.50):
      1. Go back to the "..\MAS90\Wksetup" folder
      2. Right-click WksUpdate Standard.exe (or WksUpdate 90.exe if on versions 4.40 or 4.50)
      3. Select Run as Administrator
      4. Follow the prompts (Next, Install, etc.)
      5. Select Finish when installation is complete

If you receive a message stating that no installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader was detected, select OK to continue with the installation.
To install Acrobat Reader, start the Sage 100 installation program, and select your product from the Autorun screen. Select Productivity Application, and then click Install Acrobat Reader.

 NOTE: If a message appears asking you to restart the computer, you must do so before the installation will be fully functional.

Install Workstation Setup for Sage 100 Advanced and Premium:

Terminal Services or Citrix Server:

If running Sage 100 Advanced or Premium through Terminal Services or Citrix, do not run the workstation installation directly at the Terminal Services or Citrix server. Run the workstation installation wizard only once through a remote session, this will setup up the correct registry entries for Crystal forms and report access and copy the multi-user activation file from the Application Server to the Terminal or Citrix server.

Multiple Installations:

Sage 100 Advanced workstation can attach to multiple servers. For example, if your site has three servers and Sage 100 Advanced is installed on each server, you can connect to the appropriate server by clicking a single icon rather than having a separate icon for each installation.

Adding a Server to Existing Workstation:

To add a server to an existing workstation, launch the Install Sage 100 Advanced ERP workstation program from the Sage 100 Advanced server installation folder and click Autorun.exe to run the program. Click Add on the Program Maintenance page and enter the server name, path, and port ID associated with the server you want to add. After Workstation is run, click Finish.

Windows User Group Access

Please note that when you install the software, the user must have administrative rights to install software on a Windows 7/8 machine. In order to run the software, they do not need to have administrative right access to the Windows environment.

If you wish to keep Favorites (assuming there is not a problem with the user's Favorites), make sure to back up the Favorites.json file. Then, restore it after reinstalling Workstation Setup.

  1. Close other programs.
    Note: Do no close antivirus, antispyware, and script-blocking software unless it is actually interfering with the installation.

  3. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the "...\MAS90\Wksetup" folder where Sage 100 is installed.
  4. Select Autorun.exe to run the program
