Naming Convention for Dynamics CRM Updates

Following up the preparation in the new Dynamics CRM Online updates, there are some confusions in terms of the naming convention of the releases/updates. Looking back to last year’s update Dynamics CRM 2013 has an update called SP1. Now the new updates for CRM Online (code named ‘Carina’) has different naming convention: Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1. It is confusing, isn’t it?

So, to answer this confusion, the Dynamics CRM product team just recently posted an update for this naming convention, that based on the version number of the release/update.

So for a summary on what happened, below is the quick summary on what Microsoft Dynamics CRM product team has formulised:

The following table shows CRM Online product names with their associated version numbers and code names.
