    There is no limitation.    It all depends on the hardware and if everything is on a single box or split up and the types of usage that the various organizations have.  We have demo boxes with over 50 organizations.

    Hi,

    There is no limitation but its all about Hardware.........

    Ref: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Deployment Walkthrough Guide

    1. Entry Tier – Up to 200 users
    2. Middle Tier – Up to 750 users  
    3. Upper Tier – Up to 10,000 users

    Entry Tier Architecture :     The Entry Tier architecture is designed to support up to 200 users and 20 organizations at an average 60 percent concurrency rate. 
     1–2 CRM front-end servers 
     2 64-bit processors 
     16 GB RAM 
     1–2 CRM database servers 
     2 64-bit processors 
     16 GB RAM

    Middle Tier Architecture :

     

    The Middle Tier architecture is designed to support an environment with a large number of organizations with relatively fewer users: up to 150 organizations and 750 users at an average 60 percent concurrency rate.

      2–3 CRM front-end servers  
      2 64-bit processors 
      32 GB RAM 
      3–4 CRM database servers 
      2 64-bit processors 
      16 GB RAM

    Upper Tier Architecture:  

     

    The Upper Tier architecture is designed to support an environment with a large number of users with relatively fewer organizations: up to 10,000 users and 50 organizations at an average 60 percent concurrency rate.

     4–5 CRM front-end servers
     4 64-bit processors
     16 GB RAM
     1 high-capacity CRM database server
     16 64-bit processors
     64 GB RAM


    Thanks

    The limitation is not on the number of users, but on the number of organizations. It takes much more hardware to host 1,000 organizations with 1 user (like a trial platform for prospective customers) than it does to host 10 organizations with 100 users.

    This is due to things like the async service (dedupe rules) and other services which are required for each organization and which run even when not being used.

    Hi Neil,

    Agreed! that limitation is not on  the number of users! 
    But let me know what happens if one org have 2 users and other have 200. do you think you will get the same performance? (Response time)

    By the way the details I provided is mentioned in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Deployment Walkthrough Guide.

    In my experience, users in all organizations will experience the same performance regardless of the number of users (unless there are organization-specific customisations that affect performance).
