Why are  these people moving out from MAPICS?
Jim, why your company is moving  out and what is the new ERP you are going 
for?
Rusty & Nick are  correct. You can access them even after license  expire.

Jim,
You will still be able to access all MAPICS files  with any non-MAPICS
programs as well through Query/400, DFU, DBU,  etc.
I have a client that is doing exactly that.  They are moving  off of the
AS/400 and Infor would even talk to them about renewing their  license keys
for three months instead of a year.  So, their license  keys have expired 
but
they are still using non-MAPICS programs to access of  the MAPICS data.

I've received conflicting responses on this question so I  thought I'd pose
it the group...
Our company anticipates moving to a  different ERP software solution within
the next year.  My question is  after the MAPICS software license keys 
expire
and the modules themselves  become inaccessible, will the data files still 
be
accessible through the  AS/400 Query utility?  The correct answer to this
will determine how  much historical data we port to the new application
suite.  If we  would still have access to the data files for data lookup
only, we will  probably just migrate current year history.
An INFOR rep has indicated  that the data files would not be accessible 
after
the keys expire.  Is  that a true  statement?
Jim
