Certified for Microsoft Dynamics®
Upgrading Certification

When your solution has previously achieved the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics accreditation but the Solution Software Test is now available on a newer version of Microsoft Dynamics, we encourage you to upgrade the CfMD accreditation on the newer test, in order to offer the most up-to-date technology for your customers. For example, if your solution has earned the certification on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 before, now that Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 is available, we suggest that you upgrade the certification on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2. Please note that Certified for Microsoft Dynamics solutions on older versions of Microsoft Dynamics products not be included in certain Microsoft marketing tools, such as the Business Solutions catalog or the Partner-to-Partner Connections page.

Pricing

Normally, the regular testing and certification fees apply. However, we are offering a discounted $3100 price for Certified for Microsoft Dynamics ERP upgrades when no new customer references need to be validated. For example, if a partner is upgrading from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 to NAV 2009 R2 and all of their existing customer references are on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0, they can all be reused for the upgrade, therefore they don't need to be revalidated and the discounted fee applies. However, if any of the references are on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0, they are not valid for the upgrade and new customer references need to be provided on NAV 5.0 or NAV 2009 R2. In this case, the full fee of $3500 needs to be paid. This discount only applies to Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD) upgrades. If the solution has only been tested on an older platform before and the partner wants to test again on a newer version without committing to CfMD, the full fee needs to be paid.
