Microsoft recently announced that it will end support for Dynamics GP in 2029, marking a shift toward more AI-enabled, secure, and scalable cloud-based platforms. For tens of thousands of GP customers, it also marks a significant turning point.

As part of the announcement, Microsoft shared the following timeline:

Timeline and Key Dates for Dynamics GP End-of-Life Support

  • April 1, 2025 – No new sales of GP Perpetual licenses for new customers
  • April 1, 2026 – No new customer sales of GP (including perpetual and subscription licenses)
  • December 2028 – Final year-end update for GP
  • September 30, 2029 – End of product enhancements, regulatory updates, service packs, and technical support
  • April 30, 2031 – End of security updates, marking the official end of life

While 2029 may seem like a long runway, it’s never too early to start planning your transition strategy .

Finding the Right Solution: We Can Help

As Microsoft shifts toward AI-driven, cloud-based platforms with more scalability and security, Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) may offer the perfect solution for most clients, especially small-to-midsize companies.

However, not all GP customers are a great fit for this platform. In those cases, Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management (F&SCM) may be a more suitable option.
