Problems with Microsoft Dynamics 365 patches

“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt

We had problems importing solutions in a sandbox instances for Microsoft Dynamics 365. It was because different instances having different versions of Microsoft Dynamics 365. This article looks at the potential problems of patches.

Upgrading

We have been upgrading customisations to make them Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 10 compliant and removing the customisations which are depreciated in Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 9.

There can be confusion about what you need to update with new versions. Microsoft supports the last 2 releases: Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 8 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 version 9.
