The switch happened around late 2004, when Microsoft Business Solutionsintroduced Great Plains Dynamics GP version 8.0, which was only available onMicrosoft SQL Server and MSDE 2000. Highend version of Great Plains, such as eEnterprise and Great Plains Professionalwas historically available on Microsoft SQL Server only (some customers may rememberDynamics C/S+ for Btrieve, but this is really an antiquity) 2. MSDE and SQL Select as an advantage, where youhave to pay for the privilege. ForDynamics GP 7.5 Standard, Microsoft offered to reissue GP registration key forGreat Plains on MSDE to be able to redeploy Great Plains on Microsoft SQLServer 2000 Standard.

Moving from MSDE to SQL Select 2005.
