Sage MAS 90 and 200 Updates

 
 

Service Packs and Service Updates are released periodically by Sage Software in order to provide fixes to known problems and error conditions in the software.  The typical  path for software’s evolution is the creation of Versions which represent a major release of functionality and capabilities. To fix problems, both Service Updates and Service Packs are created to apply to a specific Version. Generally, Service Updates are created as problems are fixed (specific “bug” fixes). Service Packs are created to bundle all the previous Service Updates into one group so it is easier to install all the previous Service Updates at one time. Be aware that the naming and process for releases is subject to change and the instructions provided for each must be carefully followed.  

It is highly recommended that you contact Business Technology Solutions as your authorized reseller before installing Versions, Service Packs or Service Updates. This allows you to take advantage of our team’s training and experience across our client base to provide as smooth an installation as possible.

Always remember to create a back-up of all files before you or anyone else installs any version, update or service pack! It is vital that you contact us if you have Extended Solutions, third party applications and/or custom modifications to ensure all are compatible with the release. 

Sage Software makes these service releases available on their website and they are announced in various forms of customer communications. To insure you have the most  current information we recommend that you review the information on the Sage Website. To prevent confusion due to out-of-date information we do not maintain a parallel set of information on our website.  Should you not be able to find the information you need do not hesitate to contact our Account Management (Janet) or Support Teams (Support Page).

A javascript error may also appear on screen or as a warning icon on the bottom left corner of the Sage MAS 90 or 200 business desktop. To avoid this issue, either install Service Update 6, or do not install Internet Explorer 7 on any Windows XP Workstation or Windows Server 2003 operating system. Note that Beta versions of Internet Explorer 7.0 are not supported with any version of Sage MAS 90 or 200.
