Sage MAS 90 Minimum Hardware Requirements
MAS 200 System Requirements
The information in this document applies to Sage MAS 90 ERP Level 3.71 through version 4.20. Sage Software generally only supports the current Sage MAS 90 level and one prior major level. As of the version 4.10 release, Sage MAS 90 Level 3.70 and prior are no longer supported by Sage Software. For more information, see the Miscellaneous Notes section in this document. Alternative support options may be available through your Sage Software business partner. Program Fixes, Service Packs, and Service Updates will continue to be made available on the supported versions of the software only. Detailed information about support policies can be found on the Sage Software Online Web site at: www.sagesoftwareonline.comThe Supported Platform Matrix is intended to cover all information, as of July 5, 2007, regarding the compatibility of various operating systems with Sage MAS 90. Any operating system not listed should be considered to be incompatible. If your platform is not listed, Sage Software Customer Support cannot provide support for you on that platform.
Note: It is critical that before and during an installation, this document be thoroughly reviewed, along with the Sage MAS 90 Installation and System Administrator’s Guide and other documents found by clicking the Installation Information link of the main Sage MAS 90 and 200 Support Web page.

The following information below applies to all Standalone (Single User) workstations, Peer-to-Peer workstations, and client workstations attached to Windows or Novell NetWare servers, unless indicated otherwise.
|
| Peer-to-Peer Networks: Running Sage MAS 90 on a dedicated server is required. Using the server as a workstation will severely impact the stability and performance of Sage MAS 90. All workstations must be running the same operating system. No more than five workstations should be actively running Sage MAS 90 if the server is dedicated. No more than one workstation should be actively running Sage MAS 90 if the server is not dedicated. |

Notes
• Support for Service Pack 1 on Windows Server 2003 will be discontinued on September 30, 2007.
• If e-Business Manager is installed, the ISAPI Plug-in must be installed manually for new Sage MAS 90 installations. Windows 2000 can be used as the Internet Information Services (IIS) server if Sage MAS 90 is installed on Windows Server 2003.
• Workstations from remote sites are supported only through Terminal Services or Citrix. Running Sage MAS 90 over a wide area network (WAN) or through any other remote means is not supported. |
| |
Recommendations
• Sage MAS 90 should be installed on its own dedicated server. For optimum performance, other applications or services such as e-mail, IIS, or Fax that are not essential to the operating system should be installed on a separate server.
• Due to unresolved issues with Microsoft’s implementation of NWLINK IPX/SPX protocol, do not use this protocol stack on Windows networks unless necessary. |
| |
Not Supported
• Using a server operating system as a Sage MAS 90 workstation is not supported (not even as a client to another server).
• Sage MAS 90 is not designed for any version of Windows Datacenter Server and is not supported on this platform.
• Microsoft Virtual Server is not supported with
Sage MAS 90.
• Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit is not supported with Sage MAS 90 at this time. |

Notes
• Support for Service Pack 1 on Windows Server 2003 will be discontinued on September 30, 2007.
! Service Pack 1 is recommended for Citrix MetaFrame XP.
• Terminal Services and Citrix are supported with all supported levels of Sage MAS 90.
• For Sage MAS 90 versions 4.10.1.x and 4.20, Crystal Reports 10.0 is supported if Windows Server 2003 is used as the Terminal Server/Citrix Server.
• For Sage MAS 90 versions prior to 4.10, Crystal Reports version 8.5 is supported with Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services/Citrix server. There are no known issues with this configuration; however, Business Objects (formerly Crystal Decisions) does not support Crystal Reports version 8.x or Crystal Enterprise version 8.x with Windows Server 2003, and any discovered defects will not be corrected by Sage Software.
• Citrix MetaFrame XP for Windows Feature Release 2/Service Pack 2 (FR2/SP2) is supported with Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.
• Terminal Services or Citrix must be installed on Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 or Windows Server 2003.
• Thin Clients are supported with Windows 2000 Terminal Services and Citrix. For more information, refer to Microsoft’s Web site: www.microsoft.com
• For more information on Terminal Services or Citrix, see the Miscellaneous Notes section in this document. |
| |
Recommendations
• Sage MAS 90 can be installed on the same server as Terminal Services or Citrix, or on a separate server. (Novell servers are not supported in a Terminal Services/Citrix environment.) If Sage MAS 90 is installed on a separate server from the Terminal Services/Citrix server, use 100 Mbps or better network components to connect the two servers. |
| |
Not Supported
• Although Business Objects supports Crystal Reports 9 with Windows Server 2003, it is not compatible with Sage MAS 90 and is not supported.
• Symantec does not support WinFax PRO on Terminal Services or Citrix. WinFax PRO is therefore not supported with Sage MAS 90 running in a Terminal Services or Citrix environment.
• Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition is not supported with any level of Sage MAS 90. |

| |
Not Supported
• The use of Microsoft Terminal Services or Citrix to connect to Sage MAS 90 on a Novell server is not supported.
• Using NetWare File Access Pack (NFAP) without a traditional Novell Client installed at the workstation is not supported due to file locking and concurrency issues. It is not necessary to unload or uninstall NFAP at the server. |
