Upgrade a customer from GPver5

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,140

Just obtained a customer that is running GP ver 5g10 (btrieve) and we want to begin upgrading them into this century!  The upgrade path I am looking at following is GP5 to GP6 then GP6 to GP7.5(pervasive) then GP7.5(pervasive) to GP7.5 (msde\msql).    Then GP7.5 to GP9. Then from GP9 to GP2010.      This customer has never lapsed on enhancement fees.   My dilema is neither our firm or the customer has any of the Installation CD's.    Logged a problem with Microsoft and they state that they no longer have that media.  They only have what is available on Partnersource for download.    

What I a looking for is if there is anyone out there that has a GP6 Install CD, a GP7.5 Install CD and a GP9 install CD.   I was able to get the last service pack for GP9 from partnesource.   I also believe I will need a install CD for Pervassive 2000 to update the GP5 Btrieve.    Lastly, and this one seems to be the most difficult, there was a 'Migration Utility Tool' available for converting Pervassive databases into SQL database for GP7.5.   I remember that it was not on the install CD but a download at one time.    Thank you Doug.

    Let me check my collection of Dynamics GP stuff. I go back to when it came out on floppies and I am sure I have a copy of the Btreive to SQL tool.

    Thanks Richard - I had all of the media at my previous employer also (I think the earliest was version 3x).   I think that version was like 15-20 3.5inch floppies!

    Plenty of "Old: folks around. I still have the white boxes that Dynamics GP v 1.0 came in. You needed a big box to hold all the floppies.

    Thanks to everyone especially Richard.   I have what I need.   Some other people came through also and I have the install CD's from version 2.2 forward!   I think that was the year CD's were invented LOL!   What a lot of changes we have seen!
