NAV 2016 and older no longer receive updates, extended support for NAV 2017 ends in January 2027 and for NAV 2018, the last version, in January 2028. After that, no NAV version will receive security updates. Anyone still running NAV has little time left to prepare a migration. This article explains what that means in practice and which migration paths exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-does-support-from-microsoft-entail\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>What does support from Microsoft entail?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-d2615e176c4a080155847bc5cde357f7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/lifecycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft&#8217;s lifecycle policy<\/a>, every version of Navision always receives 10 years of support: five years of mainstream support and another five years of extended support. The difference between these two types of support is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mainstream support:<\/strong> the NAV version receives new features, security-related updates, and non-security-related updates;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extended support:<\/strong> the NAV version only receives security-related updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">We do not need to explain that mainstream support is the best and should be the minimum for any organization. You can use Microsoft support for incidents and bug fixes. Still, your Navision package will also be provided with essential updates necessary, such as custom laws and regulations, such as the GDPR and the AVG. If your package goes to extended support, you can no longer use this and will only receive security-related updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-the-consequences-of-the-terminated-support-for-navision\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>What are the consequences of the terminated support for Navision?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Version<\/th><th>Mainstream support until<\/th><th>Extended support until<\/th><th>Status October 2026<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>NAV 2015<\/td><td>January 2020<\/td><td>January 2025<\/td><td>No longer supported<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NAV 2016<\/td><td>April 2021<\/td><td>April 2026<\/td><td>No longer supported<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NAV 2017<\/td><td>January 2022<\/td><td>January 2027<\/td><td>Security updates only, ending soon<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NAV 2018<\/td><td>January 2023<\/td><td>January 2028<\/td><td>Security updates only<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/lifecycle\/products\/dynamics-nav-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Lifecycle<\/a>. During extended support Microsoft only delivers security updates; new features have stopped for all NAV versions. Once extended support has also expired, you run a system without security patches and face a serious risk from cybercriminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-the-replacement-for-microsoft-dynamics-nav\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>What is the replacement for Microsoft Dynamics NAV?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still a Microsoft Dynamics NAV user, and are you curious about your options now that the basic support for the latest Navision version is ending? The most logical step is transitioning to Microsoft Business Central in the cloud. <a href=\"https:\/\/bluace.nl\/en\/dynamics-software-apps\/business-central\/\">Business Central<\/a> is the successor to Navision in a familiar guise and is the simplest solution to continue complying with regulations. Business Central is a cloud system with automatic updates based on the latest technologies, standards, and legislation. Additionally, you are immediately provided with an improved platform with many new functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-where-things-stand-in-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>Where things stand in 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support clock is ticking. Mainstream support for NAV 2018 ended in January 2023 and extended support ends in January 2028; for NAV 2017 that is already January 2027, and NAV 2016 and older no longer receive security patches, not even for critical vulnerabilities. The surrounding environment is also tightening: new Windows Server and SQL Server versions are not tested against NAV, connections with banks, e-invoicing platforms (Peppol) and web services require modern authentication that NAV does not provide out of the box, and the pool of consultants with current NAV knowledge shrinks every year. The risk has shifted from &#8220;someday&#8221; to an operational and security risk that insurers and auditors increasingly flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-migration-paths\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>The migration paths<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NAV users essentially have three routes. The first and most common: migrating to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud, NAV&#8217;s direct successor, sharing its DNA but delivered as a SaaS platform with two major releases per year. Existing NAV data migrates via proven tooling; customisations are re-assessed and replaced where possible by standard functionality or apps from the Microsoft Marketplace. The second route: Business Central on-premises, possible, but you forgo automatic updates and pay for it in management overhead. The third, switching to a different ERP, means leaving the Microsoft stack and is usually the most expensive option, because everything must be rebuilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-does-a-migration-look-like\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>What does a migration look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A NAV-to-BC project starts with an analysis of the current environment: which version, how much customisation, which integrations. Then the choice: data migration with re-implementation (most common for older NAV versions, as it cleans up at the same time) or a technical upgrade. Expect a lead time of several months depending on complexity. The biggest pitfall is wanting to transfer fifteen years of customisation one-to-one; it is precisely Business Central&#8217;s standard plus targeted apps that keeps the platform maintainable and updatable.

NAV 2016 and older no longer receive any updates; support for NAV 2016 ended in April 2026. Only extended support, meaning security updates only, remains for NAV 2017 until January 2027 and for NAV 2018, the last version, until January 2028. After that, no version of Dynamics NAV will receive security updates.\n<\/div>\n  <\/details>\n  <details style=\"background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #e1e8ef;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden\">\n    <summary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:18px 24px;font-size:17px;font-weight:600;color:#063055;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;list-style:none\">\n      <span>Can I keep using Navision in 2026?<\/span>\n      <span aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:400;line-height:1;color:#063055;flex-shrink:0\">+<\/span>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div style=\"padding:0 24px 22px 24px;font-size:15px;color:#3d4754;line-height:1.65\">Technically yes: the software keeps running.
