In May 2023, Microsoft announced that it would stop selling new licenses for Dynamics SL to new customers in 2025 for on-premises sales and in 2026 for subscription-based licenses. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities this situation presents and are committed to providing our clients with the solutions and support they need to thrive. See below for how Velosio can help you navigate the future confidently.

Already using Microsoft Dynamics SL?

Here at Velosio, we find that most businesses that come to us with an existing Microsoft Dynamics SL license fall into two categories:

  • You like your Dynamics SL on-premises ERP solution. You’ve been using it for years. It works. It does what you need it to do. It’s reliable. Yet, you’ve heard about Microsoft’s announcement in May 2023 that stated it will stop selling new licenses for Dynamics SL to new customers in 2025 for on-premises sales and in 2026 for subscription-based licenses, and you’re not sure where that leaves your company.
  • You’re interested in the cloud-based options available with Microsoft, such as Dynamics 365 Business Central, but don’t feel confident that the Microsoft partner you used in the past can effectively help you migrate from Dynamics SL to a new solution.

No matter which category applies to you, we’re here to help you get the most out of your ERP.

Velosio’s experienced consulting team can review which versions you’re using and what policies and programs will support you going forward.
