Install the StarShip Link

We recommend that you read through these instructions before performing the installation. The StarShip Link installation must be run as follows :

Sage 100 Standard Edition (formerly MAS 90) : Run the installation only once on the Sage 100 Server where the Sage 100 data resides.

Sage 100 Advanced Edition (formerly MAS 200) : Run the installation only once on the Sage 100 Application Server.

Installation Notes

• All users must exit out of Sage 100 prior to installing StarShip Link.
• If you are installing to a Sage 100 Advanced system, be sure that the Application Server Service is shut down before you run the installation.
• If installing an upgrade of StarShip Link 2.0 from Sage version 4.50, the following steps should be run after the Sage 100 system has been upgraded to version 5.00 and the data conversion process is complete.
• Exit the Sage 100 Desktop application on ALL machines.

Back up Sage files

These Sage directories should be backed up :
