You down with VPC? (Yeah you know me)
Microsoft just released an updated version of the April 2009 VPC release, mostly because it’s due to expire very soon. You’ll probably need PartnerSource or CustomerSource access to download it at the link below.
VPC Re-Release for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0
Why should you download this version? First of all, it’s not set to expire until August 2011 which will give you plently of time to play around until CRM 2011 is released. It’s also a leaner download at about 7 GB. Last but not least, it includes some new technologies such as Office 2010 and portal accelerators.
Per the download page, this new release (or re-release) has some new updated software:
- Update Rollup 11
- Microsoft Office 2010
- New Portal Accelerators
- New Partner and Customer portal installed using AD so no external network is required
- New Profile Manager Tool which has two profiles for services and URL caching
It also looks like this VPC has the same credentials as in the past releases. Log in with the following:
ID=contoso\administrator
PW=pass@word1
Enjoy!
Wow! That was fast
Thanks for helping us
