Hi Tim,

Did you check with your reseller? He or she should be able to answer that question. They should also have access to a patch for certain versions of the 2016 system, in case read-only doesn't allow reports to pull data out of Sage. Seems to me that it should, though, but there is a lot of information floating around and, frankly, it can be kind of confusing.

Yes I do have the question into them, but as you noted lots of information and not a lot of hard answers.  So I was really hoping to get some confirmation of any answer I get from my reseller. 

What flavor of v2016?  Standard / Advanced / Premium?

I assume you were on the old perpetual (non-subscription) license?

Presumably, the read-only mode will follow the same logic as outlined in this Sage KB article: 

Will Sage 100 data be accessible after a Sage 100 subscription expires?

Hi Tim,

I was able to look at your account and it appears it is a subscription account so you will be impacted by the changes to TLS. The Sage Knowledgebase article that provided below is an accurate description of what occurs when Sage 100 becomes read-only. As rclowe mentioned there is a patch available for specific versions of Sage 100 2016. This patch has only been released to Partners as there is some pre-work that needs to be done prior to installing the patch.
