Important Information regarding
Sage
500 Compatibility with
Microsoft® Windows
Vista™
|
| |
Effective
January 30th, the Vista operating
system is generally available
to new and existing
PC users. The currently shipping versions of
Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, Sage MAS 500 ERP
systems as well as
Sage MAS 200 – SQL Server
Edition are not fully compatible
with the Vista
operating system. It is important to note that the
compatibility issues with Vista are not isolated to our accounting
software, but Vista also impacts many of the third-party products
that we leverage to deliver a best-in-class mid-market ERP solution
including Crystal Reports® from Business Objects and Microsoft
FRx.
The Sage MAS Product Team is currently evaluating our third
party products and complementary Sage Software Solutions for a
definitive timeline on full compatibility and certification on
the Vista operating system. We will be posting a Vista Compatibility
update on March 1, 2007 on http://www.sagesoftwareonline.com.
FAQs:
What does Sage Software recommend I do?
We encourage all customers
to wait on upgrading to Vista until we can offer full support for
Vista including all our third party and complementary products
later this calendar year. For any new computer purchases, we recommend
that customers request Windows XP Professional.
Where can I get
more information on Windows Vista?
Windows Vista homepage for general
information: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/default.mspx
Windows Vista Editions: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/default.mspx
What if I am using Microsoft SQL Server?
Earlier versions of Microsoft
SQL Server, including SQL Server 2000 as well as the Desktop MSDE
edition, SQL Server 7.0, and SQL Server 6.5, will not be supported
on Windows Server "Longhorn" or Windows Vista.

For users of SQL Server 2005, Microsoft plans to support SQL Server
2005 on Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn". Microsoft
has not released the required service pack as of this January 30th,
2007. When Microsoft releases the required service pack, Sage will
test and ensure compatibility before certifying its applications.
