Learning NAV without a licence

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

My organisation has been using NAV 2013R2 for a couple of years now and I am leaving the organisation - semi retiring, but I still want to continue learning about NAV.

Can anyone tell me how I can run a stand-alone version of NAV on my laptop?  Do I need to run a virtual server and where can I get a test database?  Hopefully without any major costs to me.

Serge

    Hi Sergei,

    Yes, you can install demo without any costs.

    You can download newest 2018 update here:

    Last version of 2013R2 here:

    blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../cumulative-update-51-for-microsoft-dynamics-nav-2013-r2-has-been-released

    Also, i recommend you to learn how to get NAV on docker. It's cool. Learn about it here:
