Licensing and integration between NAVISION ON-PREMISE and D365 CRM

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 70

Hello all,

(because of powers beyond MY control, we're between vendors/partners at the moment and I'm reading/getting ambiguous info online so far, I'll post the same question on the other NAV forum and D365).

We have what I call a non-traditional configuration. Originally 2013 CRM and NAV 2014 where both on premise. We moved to D365 CRM and Business Central (v14 Spring release?) on-premise as we have custom code that is/wasn't ready for Business Central online.

Our sales guys (Enterprise Licensed) need a report built that will draw on data (like a stock level) from NAV BC. They won't be updating/writing to the NAV BC instance, just reading levels updated by the Finance team.

Do they (D-CRM-365) require licenses on the NAV BC (or other methods below?) server to access this data in the following methods that I see for building said report:

    Integrated report to D-CRM-365
    Custom PowerApp in the D-CRM-365 Environment
    Power BI (we have Premium Per User and Pro users not integrated with NAV BC, for other offerings already and would rather not have to get sales guys licenses for 1 report)
    SSRS on the On-Premise SQL server used for NAV BC (we have them licensed as SQL users here already)
    Excel (we're M/O365)
    Any other suggested method(s)?

Thanks all.

    Hello Marco,

    Thanks for the link! I've been reading through it over the past couple of days and as usual with MS Licensing (of nearly any of their products ) it just makes my head spin. :)

    I think that the ambiguity lies in the fact that they (sales guys) won't be directly accessing NAV at all, just the database data on our SQL server.  I can create the report they need in MS SQL SSRS, Excel or even PowerBI, presently and they just need to pick the parameters. They won't we writing or creating anything new, and as far as they know (which they don't as it is too technical for them ;)) NAV doesn't exist.

    Hello,

    If you want to be sure, and I am sure you want, you need to ask this question via Partner Center so you can get an official response. From Microsoft (technical) support perspective, we usually do not answer license related queries.

    Thanks.
