    hi jehanzed

    thanks for the reply. i just have a little more concerns.how many organisations can you have if you have a crm 2011 workgroup deployment.Also what are the necessary requirements in order to import a crm 4.0 database into crm 2011.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Dynamics CRM 2011 Workgroup edition have a limit of 5 CALs (Users) and single organization and refer to the steps below for importing CRM 4.0 database into CRM 2011:

    In the CRM 4.0 SQL Server
     
    1.Back up the 4.0 organization database (the one with the _MSCRM after it), to a .bak file on disk.
     
    In the CRM 2011 SQL Server
     
    1. Restore the .bak file to it
     
    In the CRM 2011 Deployment Manager
     
    1.Run the Import Organization wizard


    2.Import the SQL database you restored in the previous step

    3. During User Mapping choose Keep Exsisting User Mapping (becuase your domain is same)
