Retired industry software: see how much data you have, then export it.
Pick a system to see two things: how to check how much data is in it, and how to export a copy. No form, no sign-in.

How to see how much data is in Retired industry software
- Find the computer or server where the old software's data lives
- Locate its data folder or database file
- Right-click → Properties / Get Info and note the size
- Note the software name, version and years of data
Record data folder size and years covered; the software name and version matter as much as the size.
How to get a copy of your Retired industry software data
- Find the computer or server where it still runs
- Use its reports or export menu to save CSV or PDF copies
- If it won't run, back up its data folder
- Contact the original vendor or an IT consultant to extract the data
- Store copies in an open format
If it still runs, use its reports or export menu to save CSV or PDF copies. Otherwise, keep the machine or database backup and ask the original vendor or an IT consultant to extract the data.
Old files may only open in that software, so export to open formats while it still works.
These instructions are written by DataFrenzy from each vendor’s public help pages. Menu names can vary by plan and change over time; the official link on each guide is the final word. Screenshots come from each vendor’s own help pages and videos or, where noted, from third-party tutorials credited under the image; dashed outlines are illustrations, not screenshots. Looking up a size or preparing an export never sends anything to DataFrenzy.
