RE-installing MAS 90 3.71 on another computer

[computerlady143]

I am installing MAS90 3.71 on another computer. we are switching to another Accounting Package. Still in the Sage family. This will be on a stand alone computer. I have installed the MAS 90 and I am activation the Modules. I have entered the Registration #, Serial #, and Unlocking Key for System Activation. I also did the same for all modules - Serial Number and Unlocking Key. However when I go to activate it tells me that the Activation Key contains invalid characters. It seems to match up what I printed out of the system. On the Address Tab I just have the company name. I made it match what is on the Product Registration Report. What am I doing wrong? I used Caps for the Letters. I do have what appears to be Zero in the Activation Code but I tried it with Zeros and O's so...???

I think I got it - I cut and Paste it - must have had some spaces or trash - even though I typed it in the field.

Re-run workstation setup at all workstations. Replace any shortcut icons that point to the original location. If the new server has the same name and path as the original server, re-running workstation setup is not required.
Start Sage MAS 90 from the new location to verify that the program and the company data is accessible and that no errors occur.

Thanks for all that information. I actually have done that before but in this case, if you read my positing - MAS 90 is going away. I just wanted to install it on a stand alone computer. so I installed it - not worried about a network. However, my problem was getting it registered. I actually typed the number in but kept giving me invalid characters in the registration Field. When I cut and pasted it from Sage website then It was fine. My next problem was getting information out since I dint have VI. When I went to print it would not let me use any format but ASCII. However, I am using the ODBC driver and seemed to be getting the data. Thanks anyway.
