Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 – Functionality discontinuation notice

Microsoft Dynamics has been licensing a runtime version of Microsoft SharePoint Server needed for the deployment of Business Portal.  With the discontinuation of Business Portal, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 does not qualify for a runtime version of Microsoft SharePoint Server. 
Because of above, Microsoft SharePoint Server runtime will not be available to customers upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015.

This functionality discontinuation impacts Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 under the Perpetual Licensing model.

How does this effect you?

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 (and prior versions) customers:
  • Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 runtime remains available for use with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 (and prior versions).
  • Microsoft will continue to support Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 runtime for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and prior versions through the end of the Microsoft Dynamics lifecycle. Note that mainstream support for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 ends April 10, 2018. Please visit the Microsoft Support Lifecycle site for more information on your specific version of GP.      
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 customers with an active enhancement plan upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 via the License Model Transition Upgrade and Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 customers upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015.
  • ​Microsoft SharePoint Server runtime modules will not appear on the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 license.
  • The Protected List Price of Microsoft SharePoint Server runtime modules will be removed upon upgrade 
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 customers with an active enhancement plan upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 via the License Credit Transition Upgrade will not be able to license Microsoft SharePoint Server runtime with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 and will be able to use the PLP of this module towards any Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 module.​
