Applying product updates

SOLVED

We are currently on Sage 100 Advanced ERP 2014 Version 5.10.1.0 and I would like update us to the latest product update, which I believe is product update 7. If I am reading our current version correctly then we are on product update 1. Can I update directly to product update 7 from 1 or do I need to do them in order? This is my first product update so I just want to make sure it is done correctly. We have a lot of customization done at this point and I would hate to break anything that is working, but alas we need to be on PU7 to install the necessary 1099 stuff.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

    Product updates are cumulative, so just install pu 7. Do make sure you back up first.

    Make sure you have your updated unlocking keys or you may lock yourself out of payroll.

    Ok I was not aware they were cumulative, I appreciate the answer Tom. In regards to backup I make the occasional backup of my customizations through Sage and generally just do a copy of the MAS90 folder before making any major changes like this. Is that sufficient?

    If we ran in to issues would it be as simple as replacing the MAS90 folder with my backup? I haven't been put in a position where I have needed to restore a backup yet.

    You got it. Just backup entire MAS90 folder - system and all.

    I haven't had to do a restore recently due to a failed install, but I have had it happen and I have been very happy to have the backup when it does.
