Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 Compatibility with Windows 7

 

Windows 7 to date has been a great success in homes and in businesses. Before rolling it out in your business, please make sure you've done the necessary steps to have your MAS 90 or MAS 200 be compatible with it:   

 

Sage now supports Sage MAS 90 and 200 versions 4.3 and 4.4 running on Windows 7 with a Hot Fix download from Sage Online. Versions older than 4.3 will not be supported on Windows 7. For installation instructions, please refer to Knowledge Base articles #522926 for 4.3, and #523005 for 4.4. Sage is currently developing a Hot Fix to support Windows 7Toolbox compatibility for Extended Enterprise Suite 1.3 and 1.4, and will provide an update as soon as it's available. Please contact us if you're interested in implementing any of the available service packs to address Windows 7 compatibility.
