From what I understand, if Sage has to write to a table to generate it (like an AR Aged TB) that won't function. Do you have a list of icons/screens that will no longer work or completely disappear? The end customers (and us VARs) are getting surprised by what is not available.

Hi Dawie Nel I've had a question regarding Sage 300 subscription expiry for a while and this might be a good place to ask.  Firstly thank you for this information it is very helpful, especially to be aware of the 45 day expiry on newer releases.

We recently had a Sage 300 site that upgraded to Sage Intacct (so staying in the Sage family with a bigger commitment to Sage) and we migrated the usual suppliers, customers, accounts, and opening balances to Intacct, but of course left the detailed historical transaction data behind in Sage 300.  Moving all transaction history from one ERP to another is not very feasible at the best of times.  At this stage the client had a historical Sage 300 system and their new Intacct system.  After several months, their Sage 300 entitlement expired and the client called us reporting the icons for Aged Payables and other Vendor reports had disappeared, with the same across other subledger and operations modules preventing them from running historical reports.  Upon investigation it turned out the expired system limited access to specific G/L reports and account transaction enquiry and that was pretty much the extent of historical access. 

We had to organise the client to purchase a mini 3-month Sage 300 subscription on top of their Intacct Subscription to be able to extract historical A/P, A/R and operations transaction history to Excel and PDF to prevent losing it again after the mini subscription expired..  I may have missed it but I haven't been able to locate information on what data and reports will remain read-only accessible in Sage 300 after expiry.  Would you happen to have this?  This would really help us better inform clients on what they will be able to access post-expiry so they can make better decisions on how much consulting time to invest in  migrating transaction history to the new Sage system.  Being able to present a PDF to clients with a list of the screens that will still open post-expiry would be ideal.

Let me know if I'm not making much sense and I'll try and clarify

Cheers...Tim
