The Connector for Microsoft Dynamics Team is pleased to announce the latest release of Connector for Microsoft Dynamics! This release ensures that your Microsoft Dynamics ERP deployment will have the choice to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 on-premises or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 in any deployment. This release also resolves some of the key issues that you might be facing with your Feature Pack 6 deployments.

This release can be downloaded for the respective ERP by going to PartnerSource:

  • This version requires this NAV hotfix 2597312, when integrating Microsoft Dynamics CRM with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2.
  • Connector for Microsoft Dynamics SL (Available Jan. 1 2012)
