Dynamics SL Sunset Options
Hi Everyone,
We are continuing to use Dynamics SL even though it is sunsetting. We use the GL, AP and Payroll modules.
We’re wondering what other SL users are doing. Are you going to continue using SL, or have you found another solution that works well.
Thanks for any shared comments!

Sarah, there are still plenty of companies out there using SL! There are companies that have thousands and thousands of dollars in custom developed solutions and they are going to use SL until the cows come home, so to speak…long after SL is gone! There are companies out there still developing new stuff to work with DSL! DSL is still going to be around for a long, long time to come!

There are also companies moving to Dynamics Business Central (BC), which is the old Dynamics NV product, and some companies are moving to Dynamics Finance & Operations (FO), which is the old Dynamics AX product. Then there are companies moving to Acumatica, which started as an old version of Solomon that was rewritten for the web! So, it’s like everyone is scattering but there’s also a ton staying and getting as much out of their investment as possible before they have to move to something else!

Thanks Michael! We are doing fine currently with SL and don’t really anticipate any issues in the short-term, and probably not for a good while. The technology solutions partners we work with are trying to create a sense of urgency for us to make a change, but SL meets all of our needs and continues to do a good job for us. We were just curious about what other SL users are doing, as we keep being told we are one of only a few companies still using it.

I think there are a lot of users like yourself, who are going to be using SL until the cows come home, so to speak, because it works for their needs, like you said! There are also lots of clients that have many customizations and custom apps they had developed thru the years and they have no need to jump either and don’t plan to in the near future. As long as their are still technical people around who will support SL, I don’t really think there is a need to upgrade, just because Microsoft won’t be supporting it anymore…

Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing that! It sounds like you’re in a pretty similar boat to a lot of companies still using SL—if it works, why change, right? We’ve heard from some folks that are sticking with it for now, especially if they’ve got custom solutions built around it.
I’m curious—what kind of industry are you in? We work with a lot of field service companies, and they’ve found ways to make the most of SL for a while, even as it sunsets. But it’s always interesting to hear how others are approaching this transition, whether they’re sticking with what works or looking for something new down the road.
Would love to hear more about your thoughts on the future of SL and what’s driving your decisions!
