Technology Features

Data Migration

Data Migrator version 7.2 will continue to support Sage MAS 90 and 200 v4.05 migrations along
with previously supported releases including v3.71.

Microsoft Vista UAC Support

Sage MAS 500 has a long standing commitment to leveraging the latest Microsoft platform
requirements. With the introduction of Microsoft Vista, a new security standard was established to
provide administrators additional security controls they require from their network of computers
throughout and organization. The new UAC standards in particular placed a greater burden on
software manufacturers to conform to this stricter security standard. The 7.2 release provides full
support for the UAC including the key areas of client installation, Windows NT Integrated security,
registry usage and proper local disk access.
