  • Artykuł

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016

You can’t directly upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016. However, you can upgrade a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 deployment in-place by using a valid Microsoft Dynamics CRM product key, or migrate by using a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 trial product key, as an interim step in the upgrade process.

Dynamics CRM upgrade best practices

  • Before you upgrade Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server, make sure all Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook users with go offline capability sync with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server to send and receive the most recent data.

  • Consider migrating the deployment by using a new instance of SQL Server. Although this option requires a different computer for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server and a different instance of SQL Server, it provides the least amount of potential downtime for Microsoft Dynamics CRM users since the existing Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment can remain functioning until the upgrade is completed and verified.

  • When you migrate the deployment from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016, you can create separate deployments for both CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 at the same time. After the deployments are verified, you can import the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 organizations in to the CRM 2015 deployment and then quickly import them into the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 deployment as described in the Migration upgrade: Upgrade a CRM 2013 deployment by using a CRM 2015 trial product key topic below. Since the CRM 2015 deployment is only temporary, the CRM 2015 deployment can be created as a virtual machine.

Be aware that following these steps may cause significant application downtime if issues occur during the in-place upgrade of a production Microsoft Dynamics CRM server. Instead of using an upgrade option that may affect the production deployment, consider migrating your deployment. More information: Upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

Migration upgrade: Upgrade a CRM 2013 deployment by using a CRM 2015 trial product key

Notice that when you use a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 trial product key you cannot upgrade Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 in-place.
