Upgrade from 2011 to 365 on premise

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

We're planning to upgrade our product from Dynamics 2011 to 365, always on premise.

We have to upgrade 2011 to 2013, 2013 to 2015, 2015 to 2016 and install service pack to 365

We only have .ISO images of 2015 and 2016, which contains our license key embebed.

We don't have 2013 .iso image. It is not available in VSDL.

Can we download it from anywhere else? If it's possible...will we lose our license info?

We don't want our system to become trial.

Regards

    You can use the downloadable trials of earlier versions to install the servers.  your license won't be invalidated.  That said, unless you've paid for Software Assurance or are on an EA, your 2011 license doesn't give you upgrade rights to D365.  As such, you might need to buy new licenses anyway.

    Also, be aware that literally not one piece of code is going to work from your 2011 CRM.  If you've developed anything, you're going to have to redevelop it, or use the new functionality of D365.  So be aware that even with the upgrade, being that far behind means you're essentially doing a complete redeployment.
