One question, where is the re-seller?  And are you using Sage 100 the old MAS90 or are you using Sage 100 Construction the old Timberline.  If this is your first time you should not be doing it alone without reseller assistance.

I believe we are using Sage 100 contractor. I do have a guy here that has helped install the back ups in the past but he is a little unsure of this install. I am thinking I may have to wait until Friday when we usually close up shop a little early so the customer support is still open. I am not sure who the re-seller is. It was set up initially and first installed years ago and then basically updated from time to time. I don't have any names of anyone other than a sales person at Sage. I have some experience working with programs but am not a full blown IT person to say the least. That being said I am very cautious so if it seems questionable I will bring in someone who knows. Lol

You are posting in the wrong section.  There is another section for Contractor. The forum moderator will probably move the thread but you can also report in the Sage Construction forum

Hi Capstone Construction,

Since it looks like you are using Sage 100 Contractor, I am going to move this post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer you their thoughts and insight.

Thanks,

Erzsi

Capstone Construction, Not sure if you are still looking for guidance.  We have a LiveChat support that can help-best to get a ticket going there when you can.  In the meantime-we have an article you will need if you are trying to go to a new acting server.  But, if you are saying you are in the old platform version 19.8 (for example) there is an upgrade path.  You will need the MB7 folder with the data in it --on the new server to browse to when migrating that data in SQL for the first time.  But we also have specific instructions to install latest version 22.2.33  We do have many articles that you will most likely utilize--but to make it easier.  Just email me so we can connect [email protected]   I am in Support and Sage Expert Services.  Too many questions to just post step by step.

Capstone Construction We also have Expert Services available for appointments after hours. Check out the  Sage Knowledgebase article KB 100939 for more information. 

Thank you very much!! Yes I believe we are currently on 19.8 We do have all the data etc. on the new server etc. as we have been using the old version on the new server for a couple of months until I had time to upgrade. I will email you and see what we can figure out. I am thinking Friday may be my best shot at getting this done as I am on the west coast and the time difference makes it so tech support is only available during my business hours. However we often close early on Friday so could make that work during those hours.
