In Sage ERP X3 you may receive this warning message today while logging into the system. Here is the knowledgebase article from Sage to resolve this condition:
V6 - Warning: the logical connection date is not the same as the date required for the connection. ENDDAT parameter is not authorized for connections with a logical date greater than 12/31/13.

DESCRIPTION
"Warning: the logical connection date is not the same as the date required for the connection
ENDDAT parameter is not authorized for connections with a logical date greater than xx/xx/xx" when launching Sage ERP X3. This message is just a warning that at one point an ENDDAT was desired for this folder. Users will still be able to connect to the folder. In most situations, and End Date would not be necessary on a Production folder and can be set to a future date.

CAUSE
This warning occurs when the Folder ENDDAT is set to a date earlier than the server's system date or the date entered in the Connection screen.

4. Highlight the DEF (Default Values) row
5. Right-click and select the Detail
