Upgrading VM to the latest Application Update - D365FO

Posted on by greengrimms 1,400

Hi guys, quick question; we're currently developing on multiple environments with U7, App release 1611, and we have to upgrade to the July 2017 Application release. As I understand, there's no way of upgrading the application on any environment, the only way is to deploy a new VM... is that correct? Does anyone know if Microsoft plans to change that in the near future?

Thanks!

    Deploying a new VM is the only way. This is not a bad thing - a new VM can sometimes come with newer components like updated SQL version etc.

    Thank you so much for your answer Joris! Yes, I agree with you on that... my only problem with this way of delivering updates is the whole data upgrade process, but thankfully we'll have to worry about it only a couple times a year.

    This applies to any type of environment except for live/prod envs, right?

    Thanks!

    The data upgrade process would have to happen anyway, new VM or not. You're upgrading to a new version so you need to upgrade code and data, that is really independent of the VM.
