Hi RongYan,

You can renew again by running slmgr.vbs -rearm command.

Please have a look at this link for more details:

Hi RongYan,

In this situation, you can only download a new VM or input a useful license.

See the old thread.

Will is correct. You have to download new version VHD or apply one valid license. Same policy for Visual studio and SQL.

Hi Will

thanks for your answer.

But could you please tell me where can I download the new VM?

(I just got the current VM from another man by copied vhd file.)

Hi Rongyan,

In LCS go to Asset Library, you can find Downloadable VHD there,import the files from Shared Asset Library to your project's Asset Library and you can download the file after that.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rongyan,

One additional remark from my side: The only legal option to get a VM is if your company has access to LCS. Copying from "another man" is not allowed if your company does not have access to Dynamics 365 VMs themselves. Access to these machines is part of a customer or partner agreement with Microsoft.

If you need access for functional review, you can also signup for a trial: https/trials.dynamics.com
