What is simacct$.dat file and what process in Sage generates it?

SOLVED

Hi all, 

I noticed the file simacct$.dat in the Sage folder this morning while doing a backup  and need to know if it is malware of some sort.

    Hi @Errol_Living,

    Thanks for reaching out! The simacct$.dat file is not malware, so no need to worry. This file is typically located in the public documents folder:

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sage Software\Simply Accounting\2025\1

    Backups do not generate this file; it’s a part of each installed version of Sage 50. Let us know if you have further questions or need more clarification!

    If this helps, please mark it as verified :)

    Warm Regards,
    Erzsi
