Hello Community!  Are you ready to upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013?  We are happy to announce the RTM of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013!

Check out the official RTM release notice from Errol Schoenfish!

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/gp/archive/2012/12/04/microsoft-announces-microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013-planned-availability-of-december-19-2012.aspx

There are two direct upgrade paths to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013:

1. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 - 10.00.1779 – KB 2599501 US Year End Update or any later build >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013
2. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 - 11.00.1860 – KB 2599505 US Year End Update or any later build >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013

If you are currently on an older build, you will have to take a couple hops to get to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013:

1. Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 or 2010 >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013
2. Microsoft Business Solutions-Great Plains 8.0 >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 >> Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013

Stay tuned for the Upgrade Hot Topic out soon!

Happy Upgrading!

    Rlmcvicar,

    Dynamics GP 2013 and Dynamics GP 2010 can be installed on the same machine at the same time, as both have their separate Registry Keys information.

    You can either do an in-place upgrade of Dynamics GP 2013 over Dynamics GP 2010, or install Dynamics GP 2013 on the same server as Dynamics GP 2010 and have both available in case you need to go back to GP 2010 for something.

    Thank you,

    Can GP 2013 be installed on a server which has GP 2010 already with the objective for a "in place upgrade"? Can an instance of GP 2010 and GP 2013 be on the same server?

    Chris -  thanks alot.  I will give that a try in my lab.  I'm assuming that 2010 client will run on Windows 7?

    Hey Jeff.  I would recommend upgrading to the latest Service Pack for GP 9.0 first, and then upgrading to GP 2010 (latest release).  Once you've upgraded to GP 2010 you would be able to upgrade directly to GP 2013.  You can find all of the links and docs you need to upgrade to GP 2010 from GP 9.0 at the following link:

    I am on 9.0 SP1.  What is the best route to update to 2013?  Which version will the client run on Windows 7?

    Hi Khurram...Good Morning!  You could try to rename the Dex.dic in your GP folder and then run a Repair on the Microsoft Dynamics GP installation.  If you still have issues, I would recommend opening a Support Case.  Thanks!

I downloaded dex11.0.0359 and install it, but after its installation, when I run to upgrade build of gp , same error occurred. please help me.
