SOLUTION FOR / Warning: the logical connection date is not the same as the date required for the connection. ENDDAT parameter...

SOLVED

I received the following error when signing into Sage this morning.  Our partners, RKL eSolutions, sent us the instructions to fix the problem, and I thought others might benefit from this information.

Warning: the logical connection date is not the same as the date required for the connection. ENDDAT parameter is not authorized for connections with a logical date greater than 12/31/13.

Full credit goes to RKL eSolutions and Sage for the solution.  Thanks.

"Warning: the logical connection date is not the same as the date required for the connection 
ENDDAT parameter is not authorized for connections with a logical date greater than xx/xx/xx" when launching Sage ERP X3

This message is just a warning that at one point an ENDDAT was desired for this folder. Users will still be able to connect to the folder. In most situations, and End Date would not be necessary on a Production folder and can be set to a future date.
