Hi Experts,
Any one can help me regarding the upgrade cost from GP2010 to GP2013R2. I have 8 Dynamics User Licenses and I am paying ENH every year for the User Licenses and Dynamics. So do I need to pay extra for the License when I go for Upgrade?

One other piece of information on upgrade to GP 2013 or higher. Microsoft changed licensing models at 2013 to a perpetual licensing model. The new licensing includes many a la cart features, which used to be purchased as separately in previous versions.
In order to obtain license keys for GP 2013, you must place an administrative "Zero Dollar" order, which commits you to the new licensing model. This will make your old product keys inaccessible and make new keys for 2013/2015 available online.
If that question is related License Fees, then my response would be:
When you keep the annual maintenance plan with Microsoft (payable often through the partner) current you are entitled to get the latest software version that is available at that time.
So during this year (January to December 2014) if you were current on your maintenance agreement, then you would be eligible for GP2015 with all the user and module licenses attached.
One point to get in as well, is when you move from GP2010 to GP2013 Perpetual there may be a small adjustment fee charged by Microsoft to 'align' the new pricing model.
If the question is about consulting costs, then my response would be:
Both Heather and Leslie point out the very huge reality that the added cost to you for the update is 'most' likely due to the cost of doing the update for your organization. Like Leslie and Heather, it is very difficult to know how long it will take to do an update - if you have customizations, if you have any integrations, if you have - well you get the idea - the number of variables are huge and only your partner can really judge the amount of time it takes to complete the work.
Best of luck, hope this helps in some small measure.
Hi,
I know you're looking for an actual number, but it's really difficult to estimate the cost of an upgrade without knowing a lot more about the installation. Have you talked to your partner about what it might take? The process is, unfortunately, not as easy as slipping the dvd in the drive and hitting next. In my world it has taken between a weekend and 3 1/2 weeks. Your mileage may vary.
Kind regards,
Leslie
Hi
If you are paying your annual licensing, you should not have to pay any extra for licensing when upgrading.
The costs come from the consulting time needed to upgrade the product usually.
If you are attached to a partner, they should be able to advise you fully on the costs. It may differ from country to country, but I don't believe it does.
Cheers
Heather
