Be Cautious!
Though it is very straightforward to update Sage 100 licenses, it is always important to exercise caution when updating mission-critical ERP / business management software like Sage 100.
Therefore, please pay attention to these 2 notes of caution:
1. Save an image of the old registration before entering the new keys.
Occasionally, the new keys will not work. In those cases, you will need to restore the old keys while Sage Software works out the problem for you. It will be easy for you to restore the old keys if you make sure to screenshot your old registration before your update.
2. All users should be out of the system before you enter the new keys.
Carefully make sure everyone is out of the system as you spend the few minutes it takes to enter the new keys. As soon as you receive the “Activation Successful” message, your users can reenter Sage 100.
Special Note for Businesses Using Terminal Server
If your business allows users to access Sage 100 via a terminal server, the license file must be manually updated in order to properly update Sage 100 licenses.
Manually updating the license file is easy:
- Locate the ACTIVATE.PVX file on the installation server.
- Locate the file: mas90homelibkeys . (There is only one file.)
- Copy the file to the terminal server’s folder: C:SageSage 100 WorkstationMAS90HomeLib .
