Option 3) Request a “Change of VAR” form from CAL Business Solutions.

  1. We will send you a PDF to print, fill out and send back to CAL.  We will then submit it to Microsoft for processing.

No matter which option you choose, when the request is processed CAL Business Solutions will receive an email from Microsoft confirming the change. This allows us to see all of your system details including registration keys, protected list price, number of users, modules, contacts, etc.

Your old partner will also receive a short email from Microsoft that informs them that you have officially switched partners.  (They will not be told the name of the new partner. But if you have followed our advice in, How to Divorce Your Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner, this email will not come as a surprise to your old partner.)

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
