Posted on by rajeev tiwari

Dear All,

Please clarify my doubts.

I have to purchase visual studio license for Dynamics 365 on premise.

In Document released by microsoft  it is mentioned that Visual studio 2015 ( Professional) or visual studio 2013 (Professional) with update of december will work.

But Now in market Visual studio 2016 or visual studio 2017 is also available.

I want to know  , is VS 2016 and VS 2017 compatible with D365 on premise for finance and operations ??

Also , Can I do development in Sandbox environment of D365 on premise as no where it is mentioned for installation of Visual Studion in Sandbox environment ??

Also for VHD one box which can be downloaded from LCS -- do we need license for visual studio for that ?? which is installed with VHD.

Please help

    Hello Sukrut,

    Thanks for reply.

    We are using D365 on premise.

    1) can we use sandbox environment for development as Vhd which we download expires after 90 days (this is problem for us) as there will be continuos development and if Vhd expires then we need to configure New vhd again and transfer data and customization.

    2) can we purchase vs 2017 license and is this compatible with d365 on premise Vhd and sandbox environment.

    Hello Sukrut,

    VHD one box machine which we can download from lcs locally and can configure on any virtual machine at our server is valid only for 90 days.

    This is the reason I am asking whether we need to transfer all codes which will be under development to new  VM or is there anything or other way  we can use one box like standalone server for long time

    Other points are clear to me now.
