Please I need the installation cd Navision Financials 2.01B in Spanish, I have lost them, and I need to reinstall my server. It is very urgent. I have backups of my files license and de database as well.
The company that performed the initial installation and maintenance, a few years ago, has broken a few months ago, and I do not know where to find the installation cd.
Can’t you roll back to the date before you had server issues as opposed to a clean install?
Do you not have the installation CD on a server, when you go through the install it should ask you to provide the language, that’s how it has worked with the implementations I’ve been part of.
Then as I suggested, the original AX supplier should have left the installation CD in a folder on one of your servers, perhaps check for this if possible.
I’m probably not the only one who has the 2.01B installation files, and I suspect that the silence here is related to not wanting to offend the licensing gods?
If this request for installation media were being made directly to MS, what evidence of entitlement would they require? I’m guessing that it would be, at the least, evidence that the customer was current on maintenance at the time they originally installed 2.01B, and at the most stringent, evidence that the customer is now current on maintenance? Now that that version is retired, I’m sure MS would not even entertain the discussion, but would they also admonish partners to dismiss it as well?
George, distributing Navision installation media all over the world is NOT restricted in any way, nor it does cause licensing infringements.
Navision DEMO DVD in fact is not some special DEMO version, it is “normal” inst disc - only the license file (.FLF) matters, DEMO disk contains only DEMO license.
As long as the purchased enduser’s FLF file is not included (and nobody of sound mind will let his license spread over Internet), the install media can be freely distributed. Here in DOWNLOADS section are many versions available already, if you have that ancient v2, you may upload it there with no fear of bad consequences [;)]
