Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP ERP should be considered as midsize businessaccounting system and as such it requires professional MBS consulting firm toperform installation, upgrade, migration, integration, customization and reporting. If you think it is somewhat requiring additional arguments, think this way  if youpurchase new car, you probably purchase it from authorized automakerÂ's dealer andthen you service your new vehicle several years with the same dealer, while it is onwarranty. In the case of Microsoft Dynamics GP licensing requires you to beenrolled in so-called MBS enhancement program. This is a norm in ERP softwareindustry, as it is helping very diversified business community to automate businessprocesses, unique for the specific company  it translates into the message that ifyou can purchase commuting car with minimal number of unique criteria  when wespeak about ERP consumers community  this is not the case. LetÂ's come through GPlicensing points: GP Professional vs. Standard. Standard has limitation on number of concurrent GPusers (at this time 10), number of Payroll employees (500  this cap was introducedin 2004, when known number of small and midsize payroll outsourcing firms had towalk away from GP, due to high cost of GP professional) GP annual enhancement program. We often get phone calls from GP customers wholapsed in Enhancement program and would like to purchase new GP modules, withoutbeing reenrolled into enhancement program. Well, obviously each case is unique, butthe rule is  we or your chosen MBS VAR have negotiate with Microsoft BusinessSolutions to renew your licenses and have you reenrolled Concurrent Licensing Schema. It is traditional to Great Plains Dynamics, lookback to 1990th and earlier 2000th. The idea is like this  you can have 20employees, who theoretically use GP, but at one moment of time  only 10 users canutilize the system as to say simultaneously. And this is probably good approach,because your people are doing other activities, and donÂ't need to be logged into GPat the same time Sales Tax dilemma. This is the dilemma of choosing local to your state or remotesupport GP consulting firm. If remote support firm doesnÂ't have the office in yourstate  you donÂ't have to pay state sales tax, however you are required to pay usetax instead.\
