    You need to install a version first that matches the demo data package.

    After that you could put the CU of your choice on top of it, and go through the Software Upgrade checklist (code upgrade not required since it is Standard AX code, but you do need data upgrade/license codes, etc).

    Demo data can be imported with the Test Data Transfer Tool, it does not matter if you use physical boxes or virtual machines.

    Hi Sanjay,

    On the next page, you can find links for the demo data. But it is not clear for what exact CU.

    mbs.microsoft.com/.../AX2012DemoToolsMaterials

    If it is not the correct version, you could try to use the approach from Ludwig by running the data upgrade scripts once installed an older version.

    I you have the option to deploy AX2012 on Azure using LCS, you could also deploy a machine and get a backup of the database or use TDTT to extract the data.

    After import, you can start the AX client and start the update checklist for data upgrade.
