Solution:

This article explains how to add a new module or option to an existing Sage Pro ERP installation. This procedure does not require installation of the entire Sage Pro product.

Follow the steps below to add a new module or option to an existing installation:

Important:
Before proceeding with the installation, verify that there is a full and verified backup of the installation. Additions to existing installations should be done by Sage Certified Consultants and Business Partners.

1. Launch the installation routine from the CD or web download.
2. Click Next in the Welcome screen.
3. Click I Accept in the Software License Agreement screen.
4. In the Choose Destination Location screen, select the folder which contains the existing Sage Pro installation.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Next in the Conversion Information screen.
7. In the ACCPAC Product Registration screen, enter the Company and new Product and Add-on activation codes when prompted. The Product activation code should include all previous applications as well as the new additions. The Add-on activation code should include all previous options and any new additions – if applicable. Both codes are required even if only one has changed.
8. Click Next.
9. In the Setup Type screen, click Custom Install.
10. Click Next.
11. In the Select Components screen, deselect all modules and options that have already been installed.Important:
    If the new modules or options are not included in the selection list, the new activation codes may be incorrect and did not include them. Also when to installing on a SQL installation, Pro SQL Manager must be selected. Otherwise a message may appear stating that the system is trying to change the database and will not allow the installation to proceed. Please refer to Knowledgebase article 20515 for additional information.
12. Select System Files.
13. Select all new module and options that are being installed. If this is a Microsoft SQL Server (SQL) installation, select Pro SQL Manager.
14. Click Next.
15. Select the appropriate program folder and click Next.

The system will now complete this installation. Once completed, confirm that the new modules and options can be accessed from within Sage Pro. Also, all applicable service packs, patches, and hot fixes should be reapplied once the installation is complete. When System Files are reinstalled and new modules and options are added, they may overwrite certain files.
