The c360 Virtual PC diffencing disk for CRM v4.0 is now available

We have released our differencing disk for the Microsoft CRM 4.0 Virtual PC and you can download it here: http://www.c360.com/vpcdownload.aspx

This Differencing includes most c360 products with the exception of our Email Marketing Tool, Email to Case and Web Connect. An update will be available in mid-May with the remaining products.

Please be aware that it may take a significant amount of time for our Explorer product to work when you reboot the virtual PC because it will need to reindex your entire CRM database. You will know that the indexing has completed when the "magnifying glass" in the lower right corner of the VPC screen stops blinking. For this reason, we recommend that you select "Save State" instead of shutting down your virtual PC.

BI Analytics issue on December 2007 c360 Differencing Disk

BI Analytics License Issue Workaround

Because of the way BI Analytics generates license requests, an issue has arisen when the vpc is installed on a host machine other that the one used to install BI Analytics. We’re still working on a solution, but in the meantime, we have a workaround to get you up and running:

1. Using the SQL server Management studio, truncate the table dbo.Licenses in the BOStore database

2. Open the file C:\Program Files\Analyzer\web\config\sysconfig.config (if you double-click on it, it should open in Visual Studio)

3. Select Edit, Advanced, Format Document from the menu

4. Select and delete everything between the <Licenses></Licenses> keywords

5. Save and close the file

6. Launch BI Analytics and register the key: 0FCF4-C5016-CAFEA-9DD36-167CD

After registering the key, you should be able to launch BI Analytics.
