It Is No Longer Possible To Get New Dynamics NAV 2013 "R1" Licenses

Recently, Erik Ernst was getting a new license for a customer he had been working with for the about five or six months. And he was ready to install NAV 2013 on the customers servers and start the training. But when he got the license, he realized it wasn't for NAV 2013, but for NAV 2013 R2. A license for NAV 2013 "R1" could no longer be issued.

Diving into the issue, Ernst discovered also that as of October 6, 2013, running NAV 2013 with a NAV 2013 R2 license was considered "downgrading" and no longer legal according to the licensing terms.

"I was told by Microsoft that I would just have to upgrade to NAV 2013 R2 before going live with the customer, then there would not be any problems and everything would be legal!

"As it is not an option for my customer to go for NAV 2013 R2 at this point in their project, this of course got me very worried. Potentially this could be a big problem, not only for me, but also for other projects already working on a NAV 2013 where they have not purchased the license, but also companies who do multi-site rollouts based on a NAV 2013 template. They would no longer be able to get new NAV 2013 licenses and would be forced to upgrade their template."
