Dynamics NAV End of Support - Plan Your Next Move
NAV support is ending
If your company still runs Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision), support is ending version by version. Dynamics NAV 2017 reaches end of support on January 11, 2027, and NAV 2018, the last NAV version, on January 11, 2028. After that date Microsoft releases no more updates for that version, not even security updates. Akkomplish is a US-based Business Central partner headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and we move NAV customers to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the product NAV became.
Dynamics NAV support dates
| Version | End of support |
|---|---|
| NAV 2013 and 2013 R2 | Ended (January 2023) |
| NAV 2015 | Ended January 14, 2025 |
| NAV 2016 | Ended April 14, 2026 |
| NAV 2017 | January 11, 2027 |
| NAV 2018 | January 11, 2028 |

What end of support means for you
- No security updates. Your financial data sits in software that no longer gets security fixes, which auditors and IT teams will flag.
- No fixes or regulatory updates. Changes in tax or reporting rules have to be handled with custom work.
- Harder to connect. Modern tools such as Power BI, Power Automate, Teams and online stores are built for Business Central, not NAV.
- Ageing servers and fewer NAV experts. NAV needs its own servers and SQL Server versions, and fewer consultants work on it every year.
Your options
1. Stay on NAV for a while, with a support partner
If your NAV is heavily customized, a support partner can keep it running while you plan. This buys time, but it doesn't remove the risks above.
2. Move to Business Central online (recommended)
Business Central is the successor to NAV, so your team will recognize much of it. It runs in Microsoft's cloud, gets two major updates a year, and works with Outlook, Excel, Teams, Power BI and Copilot. Moving usually means bringing over your data, rebuilding old customizations as extensions or replacing them with apps from Microsoft AppSource, and training your team. See our Business Central migration services.
3. Business Central on-premises
If you must keep the system on your own servers, Business Central is also available on-premises. Most companies choose online to avoid managing servers and upgrades.
A real NAV move
We moved a client from NAV 2009 to Business Central, including EDI. Read the case study.
Frequently asked questions
Will NAV stop working when support ends?
No. It keeps running, but without security updates, fixes or help from Microsoft.
Is Business Central the same as NAV?
It grew from NAV, so the core ideas are familiar, but it is a modern cloud product with a web interface, extensions instead of code changes, and regular updates.
Can we keep our customizations?
Many can be rebuilt as extensions, and some are no longer needed because Business Central or an AppSource app now does the job. We review each one with you.
