Why upgrade, no need?

Posted on by 15

I have versions 7 - 11. From a usage point, 9 & 10 are best.

After just installing GP10 on a new server, however the key reader is not on the new DVD.

This is my Key:

With out the key reader, can anyone tell me how to install these keys without buying the whole program again???

This is a new one for me, but Microsoft is doing this all the time to get people to buy more.

I would be thankful for any help.

    Is this running on a W98 workstation or W2000 server? I see eEnterprise in there which brings back memories. You upgrade because you have no choice if you want to continue using GP. Not only will GP fail to work but so will the host operating system. Eventually your hardware will fail.

    Hi Jed,

    I'm a little confused.. what is this key reader you're talking about ???

    When installing GP the first time on a new SQL instance with a new DYNAMICS database, you always have to get into application under Administration > Setup > Registration and enter the new keys for that GP version (which is different for every major GP build).

    There are usually 3-4 keys, depending on how many modules are licensed.

    I don't know where you got this gibberish output you pasted here, but it looks like to be related to the Demo company Fabrikam (aka TWO Inc). The demo company does not require any license keys, in all GP versions.

    PS: are you a partner or an end-user for GP ?
