Dynamics NAV W1 5.0 Upgrade Toolkit

The Upgrade Toolkit consists of a set of tools and procedures that are designed to help you upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0. The tools covers the upgrade for the following products:
- Microsoft Dynamics NAV 3.70

The tools and procedures that you must use vary depending on the version you are upgrading from.
