treat system requirements as a box to tick during installation and then forget about them. With GP, that is a risk.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Microsoft only supports tested combinations:<\/strong> If you run GP on a version of SQL Server or Windows that is not listed, Microsoft Support may ask you to move to a supported version before helping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some checks are enforced:<\/strong> GP checks the SQL Server version during installation and upgrade, so an unsupported version can stop an upgrade completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security depends on it:<\/strong> Older operating systems and database versions stop receiving security updates, which puts your financial data at risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgrades depend on it:<\/strong> Each new GP release adds support for newer platforms and drops older ones. Planning an upgrade without checking requirements is one of the most common reasons projects are delayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is worth recognizing that GP itself is now in its final years. Product updates and technical support end on December 31, 2029, and security updates end on April 30, 2031. Keeping your platform supported until you move is an important part of managing that risk.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supported_SQL_Server_Versions\"><\/span>Supported SQL Server Versions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SQL Server is where all your GP data lives, so this is the most important compatibility point. Here is Microsoft&#8217;s current summary by GP version:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Dynamics-GP-and-SQL-Server-Compatibility.png\" alt=\"Dynamics GP and SQL Server Compatibility\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>A few practical points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Editions:<\/strong> GP supports SQL Server Enterprise, Standard and Express. Express is only suitable for very small installations because of its database size and memory limits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collation:<\/strong> GP requires either SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS (dictionary order, case-insensitive) or Latin1_General_BIN (binary). You can check this in SQL Server Management Studio under the server properties. Collation is set when SQL Server is installed and is difficult to change later, so get it right from the start.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Notice the drop-offs:<\/strong> From GP 18.7, SQL Server 2016 is no longer listed. From GP 18.9, SQL Server 2017 drops off as well. If you are on an older SQL version, upgrading GP may also mean upgrading SQL Server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supported_Windows_Server_Versions\"><\/span>Supported Windows Server Versions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the server hosting SQL Server, and for any Remote Desktop servers running the GP client, Microsoft lists these versions for current GP releases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows Server 2025 (GP 18.7.1756 or later)<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2022 (GP 18.5.1556 or later)<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2019 (GP 18.2.1013 or later)<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2016<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 (listed for older configurations, but long past Microsoft&#8217;s own support dates)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We want to emphasize one point here. Microsoft&#8217;s own extended support for Windows Server 2016 ends in January 2027, and Microsoft notes that the security changes introduced in GP 18.8, including the move to TLS 1.3, can cause Web Client issues on Windows Server 2016. If any of your GP servers still run 2016, now is the time to plan a move to Windows Server 2022 or 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not supported on Windows Server 2019. If you rely on older VBA-based modifications, check them carefully before moving servers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supported_Windows_Client_Versions\"><\/span>Supported Windows Client Versions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For users&#8217; workstations, current GP releases support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows 11 Professional and Enterprise (GP 18.4.1434 or later)<\/li>\n<li>Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Older versions such as Windows 7 and 8.1 still appear in Microsoft&#8217;s table for older GP releases, but they no longer receive security updates from Microsoft, so we strongly recommend against using them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supported_Microsoft_Office_Versions\"><\/span>Supported Microsoft Office Versions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GP connects with Office for exporting SmartLists to Excel, sending documents by email, using Word templates and building Excel reports. Microsoft lists these versions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Microsoft 365 (Office 365)<\/li>\n<li>Office 2024<\/li>\n<li>Office 2019<\/li>\n<li>Office 2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both 32-bit and 64-bit Office are supported, but there is an important detail many organizations miss:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you use 64-bit Office, the email server type in GP&#8217;s System Preferences must be set to Exchange.<\/li>\n<li>With 32-bit Office, you can use either MAPI or Exchange.<\/li>\n<li>From GP 18.3 onwards, GP supports Exchange 2013 or later only.<\/li>\n<li>To send documents as DOCX, PDF or XPS attachments, the Word template for each document must be enabled in the Template Configuration Manager.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many \u201cemail not working\u201d issues in GP come down to one of these settings. From the October 2020 release, GP also supports modern authentication and MFA for email through Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Components_You_Should_Not_Forget\"><\/span>Other Components You Should Not Forget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ODBC:<\/strong> GP requires a 32-bit ODBC data source, even on 64-bit machines. Microsoft lists SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and 10.0 as supported drivers. If TLS 1.2 is enforced in your environment, make sure the driver version supports it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote access:<\/strong> Microsoft only supports two ways of using GP remotely: running the GP client on Remote Desktop Services (with or without Citrix) on the same network as SQL Server, or using the GP Web Client. Running the desktop client over a VPN or wide area network directly against SQL Server is not supported, because of the risk of connection and data errors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtualization:<\/strong> GP is supported on Hyper-V and other validated virtualization platforms, and on Microsoft Azure virtual machines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domain:<\/strong> The core GP application can run in a simple workgroup, but web components, eConnect, Management Reporter and Workflow require a Windows domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware_Guidance\"><\/span>Hardware Guidance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft does not publish strict server minimums. Instead, it offers recommendations based on how you use GP. Summarizing the main points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Client workstations:<\/strong> At least a dual-core 2.6 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of free disk space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small environments:<\/strong> Financials only, up to around 20 concurrent users: a dedicated SQL Server with a dual-core processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medium environments:<\/strong> 20 to 60 users, distribution modules, Remote Desktop, integrations: at least 4 GB of RAM, with separate disks for logs, data and TempDB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Larger environments:<\/strong> 60 to 100 users, heavy transaction volumes: at least 8 GB of RAM and multiple processors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote Desktop servers:<\/strong> Around 4 GB of RAM for up to 15 users, 8 GB for up to 30 users and 16 GB for up to 60 users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In practice, these figures are minimums from an earlier era. Modern environments usually perform far better with much more memory, solid-state storage and a dedicated SQL Server separate from the Remote Desktop server.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Compatibility_Pitfalls\"><\/span>Common Compatibility Pitfalls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When analyzing GP environments for our clients, these are the issues we see most often:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Upgrading SQL Server before GP:<\/strong> Moving to a newer SQL version than your GP release supports can stop GP working or block your next upgrade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forgetting third-party add-ons:<\/strong> Each add-on has its own compatibility list. Check every one before changing GP, SQL Server or Windows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>64-bit Office with MAPI email:<\/strong> This combination is not supported and causes email failures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Running GP over a VPN:<\/strong> This is not supported and often leads to slow performance and data problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staying on Windows Server 2016:<\/strong> With support ending in January 2027 and known Web Client issues on newer GP releases, this is becoming a real risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_SQL_Server_versions_does_the_latest_Dynamics_GP_support\"><\/span>Which SQL Server versions does the latest Dynamics GP support?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>GP 18.8 from the January 2026 hotfix supports SQL Server 2025, 2022, 2019 and 2017.
