Microsoft CRM 4.0 downloads and pricing posted to SonomaPartners.com
We updated our company website www.sonomapartners.com with the new downloads and documents for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. We also posted our Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 license pricing if you're interested in that. There are actually a LOT more SKU's but we just posted the main licenses people purchase to keep the site easier to read and understand. Microsoft licensing is complex enough without adding 20 or 30 extra SKU's on there to decipher!

Microsoft Volume Licensing Improvements Coming Soon
The website Microsoft-Watch.com reported today that Microsoft will make changes to drastically simplify their volume licensing programs. Whether you are a buyer or a reseller of Microsoft CRM, you might have experienced the confusion involved with trying to determine which of the 75+ Microsoft CRM SKU's you need...and that doesn't even count the additional 50+ SKU's for Government and Education purchases! With this in mind, any licensing simplification will be greatly appreciated by customers and partners. Here is a list of the current corporate Microsoft CRM SKU's:
Among the projected volume licensing changes reported from Microsoft-Watch.com:
- Reducing the Product Use Rights (PUR) document from 100 pages to 44 pages.
- Cutting the number of different product licensing models from 70 to 9. The nine new categories will be catch-alls covering the 70 different Microsoft products that are available under volume licenses.
- Changes will start July 1 (corresponding with Microsoft's 2006 Fiscal Year).
Microsoft did not release exact details about the volume license changes, and how these changes would impact Microsoft CRM. In the meantime, please make sure you work with certified Microsoft CRM partners who understand the licensing nuances.
