Did your Sage 100 subscription expire? Don't fret, you still have options and software access. Here's a rundown of the grace period, functions you can still access, and what to do if your software subscription expires.
45-Day Grace Period
Sage 100 allows a 45 day grace period with full access to your Sage 100 data once your software subscription expires. You'll will receive a message informing you that the subscription has expired and displays how long you can continue accessing Sage 100 with full access.
Error: "Your Sage 100 subscription has expired. You can continue using the software for 45 days. Please contact Sage before xx/xx/xxxx to renew your subscription"
DURING the grace period, you can still contact Sales or your Sage 100 Partner and renew your subscription if the expiration was unintentional.
AFTER the 45 day grace period, Sage 100 will only offer Read-Only access to data. In other words, you can no longer enter transactions or any other process that writes to the database but you can still view existing data.

Reports will run since reports are simply reading existing data.
Maintenance screens will still be accessible, but the fields will be display-only (similar to Inquiry screens).
Visual Integrator Import Jobs will be accessible to view, but the fields will be disabled and the buttons to execute the Import Job will not be displayed.
