Remember the Frasier phrase "Hello Seattle...I'm Listening", well right not that'sMicrosoft in Partners - We heard you

It's easier just to quote Pam:

"I've spoken to many partners since we announced the new pricing. By far the top concern is about the Customization Suite and the price being too high. I set expecations that we will continue to monitor it but that it would stay at the same price when we launch Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 in December.
Well, I am happy that we are going to make a change now! If you go to the draft pricelist for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 now it will show a new price for the Customization Suite.
Now it will be $6,000 US."

Microsoft Dynamics ERP Licensing Changes

David Musgrave takes a look at Microsoft Dynamics ERP Licensing Changes.  I’m going to say that on a personal level, there are elements of the new licensing that I find to be a naked cash grab by MS. Customers screamed about the DCO licenses and rather than deal with customer anger, MS renamed them to make them sound more appealing. Accessing GP data with other tools should be covered by other licenses, the SQL CAL, the Office CAL, etc.There is no good reason to allow access other data in the same location with these licenses but not cover Dynamics data. Companies have already paid for access to this data, there is no reason for them to have to pay again.

Dynamics GP Licensing Changes
