Need to upgrade NAV 3.7 Norway to NAV 2016 Norway, where to find the older versions of NAV 3.7, 3.7A, 4.0, 5.0, 2009 etc.. for the upgrade process.

Can't find these versions on Partner source anymore.

Regards,

Puneet Sachdev.

It's not so simple as just finding the original disks. It is very possible that in the meantime the client will have applied hot fix and service packs through text merging, or manually applying code changes. And a text compare will not correctly find these. Either way for versions going back this far there is a lot of manual comparison work required, so much so that I would not recommend going this route.

If you want the clean versions as base to compare to, and to build a version/succession tree, going to the NAV version archive is worth a try. It only makes sense if you are experienced with your merge tooling, though. Just for this type of work, and the other way round - backporting - I have built an MSFT repository going back to 2.60.

What I can read between the lines is that you want to use the conversion routines to convert the existing data from 3.70 to 2016. Well... possible, I would try this only for a relatvely clean dataset. You would need to clean up the 12+ years of mangling with dimensions, very strangely formed value entries, reservation entries, to name a few hotspots. Better to go for required customer fields and tables, transfer them to 2016, do a re-implementation of the additional functionality (you need to do it anyway, no forms, different reports, no dataports, completely different dimension handling and so on) and do custom exports/imports of the master data, and only the transactional data that are necessary / the customer wants to pay for. The chances of success are higher.
