Task 1: Open the Customer’s Existing Database with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Classic Client
Task 1 is to open the Microsoft Dynamics NAV SP1 or Microsoft Dynamics NAV R2 version of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Classic client with the old database. Make a copy of the database, or create a backup, and then open or restore it with the Classic client.
Important
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, the component that was previously called the Classic client is now called the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment, and is no longer an end-user client. Because tasks 1 through 5 use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 version of this component, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 name is used, which is Classic client.
