As of 12/31/2024, NFR keys will expire for Sage 100 2021 version. Business Partners and SAN Customers with expired NFR keys must upgrade to a current version (2022 or higher). 

There are 2 different hotfixes attached to this article - one is for Customers and one for Partners and SAN customers (NFR-Not For Resale) Some of the hotfixes were not meant to resolve both of the below issues!!

***The hotfixes were included in releases 2016.5 and 2017.2 and higher-no HOTFIX is needed.

1) READ-ONLY ACCESS for Customers who no longer own the Payroll Module:
