End of Microsoft Dynamics GP On-Premises Licenses in 2025 and Subscription Licenses in 2026

I had someone mention this to me yesterday and I’ve since seen confirmation on MS Dynamics World; Microsoft plans to end the sale of on-premises licences of Microsoft Dynamics GP in October 2025 and the sale of subscription licenses in 2026.

This only effects new sales, so existing customers will continue to be able to use the software as they are currently and will still be able to add users. In the sort term there is no need to rush as Microsoft have previosuly committed to support customers through 2028. However, the end of sales of new licences does pretty much spell the end of Microsoft Dynamics GP as a living product and will have more customers looking to implement new systems.

I’d agree with what Chris Dobkins/a>, president and CEO of Microsoft partner Njevity said to MS Dynamics World, that Microsoft may be heading for surprise at the numbers who repace Dynamics GP with BC; like Chris, I suspect there will be far fewer than they think.

BC is not a direct upgrade from Dynamics GP as many people seem to think. Before making the switch, organisations need to take a good look at the product and see if it will meet their requirements; due diligence around competitors is also needed to see if one of those is a better fit.

The writing was on the wall for this when Dynamics GP didn’t receive a SaaS version like Ax as F&O and NAV ad BC and was one of the reasons for my decision to switch to BS last year.
