Third Party Considerations 
Crystal Reports v10.0

control of their entire financial reporting process across one or more legal entities. FRx version 6.7 
service pack 10 will be included with the 7.2 release. 
StarShip Parcel v9.9 
StarShip Parcel integrates tightly with Sage MAS 500 and makes the entire shipment management 
process more fluid. Plus, when combined with the pick, pack, and ship feature built into the Sales 
Order module, StarShip Parcel helps your company become a more competitive distributor and 
even offers features that can potentially reduce your shipping and shipping-related expenses. 
Please refer to Starship Freight section above for additional details.  
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.
