If you are installing CRM 4.0 on a machine without Internet access (eg. a VPC running only on a Loopback Adapter) you might run into some problems when CRM tries to download pre-requisite packages. Our DVD version (not out yet - it's being 'manufactured') ships with these prerequisites but the downloads do not.
The simplest way is to install each of the Pre-Req's manually. The best place to search for these is download.microsoft.com. I'll refrain from posting links as these redistributable packages are always being updated.
The Visual C++ Redistributable Package presents us with a slightly different challenge. The package is unable to detect it's installed state so CRM always installs it. So we need to create a Redist folder, subfolders for i386/amd64, a VCRedist folder and then place the VC++ install files there. Your full folder structure should look like this:

• \Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe
• \Redist\i386\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
• \Redist\amd64\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
• \Server\i386\SetupServer.exe
• \Server\amd64\SetupServer.exe
• \Client\SetupClient.exe
• \DMWizard\SetupDMClient.exe
• \Exchange\i386\setupexchange.exe
• \Exchange\amd64\setupexchange.exe

I added this setup.exes to the list to show the folder structure for the Server, Client, DM and Router (the Exchange folder). Note that the Redist folder is a peer to the Server and Client.

The official downloads for CRM 4.0 are now available from the CRM section of download.microsoft.com. Use the language selector drop down box on the download page to select the appropriate language.

License Keys:

• Information regarding the availability of non-trial keys will be forthcoming from our marketing team.
• IMPORTANT! You may use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 editions with the respective License Keys for a maximum of 90 days. Each edition may be converted to a full use version by applying a commercial license key in the Microsoft CRM License Manager. A re-install of the software is not required. You will need to convert the license key to a commercial license before the 90-day period ends, as the 90 day period cannot be extended, and Users will not be warned of the impending expiration. Should expiration occur, access can be regained by applying a commercial license key.

Build Number:

• The final build number was 4.0.7333.3
• If you were involved in the pre-release programs please make sure that you clean up all your old DLLs for older versions.
• You will want to recompile any code against the RTM Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll and Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.dll. These two assemblies can be found in the GAC folder of the Server Install.
• If you use a static copy of the Discovery Service (like I do) you should also grab a new copy of this. Remember that the WSDL for the discovery service is interchangeable between WLID, Windows and IFD authentication end-points.

From InternetNews.com:

"Microsoft announced Monday that it has released to manufacturing the long-awaited update to its Dynamics-branded customer relationship management software (CRM).

Previously codenamed "Titan," the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM actually has two names in its final form. For on-premise, customer-hosted, as well as partner-hosted deployments, the product has been dubbed Dynamics CRM 4.0. The company will also be offering the package on-demand in a Microsoft-hosted environment that it has named Dynamics CRM Live.

Existing and new customers will be able to download the update when it's released on the Web this week, a Microsoft official told InternetNews.com. The Microsoft-hosted version, however, continues to run under the early access program that the company began in September.

Microsoft plans to take that version live during the first half of 2008, said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "[In the meantime,] more than 100 customers are using [CRM Live] at this point," Wilson added."
