Unable to find a Dynamics CRM 2011 installer - dynamics-crm

I've recently acquired a new client, they are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and I need to replicate their working environment on my server.
I seem unable to find a download link for the server setup, the official Microsoft download center gives 404, and all other sources I've found on the web aren't working (the new Partner Center doesn't provide a download for the 2011 version).
Does anyone know where I can find a working installer?
Thanks

Recommandation while using MSOffice 2016 with AbcPdf on Windows Server 2012

I'm trying to configure MSOffice 2016(x64) on a Windows Server 2012(x64) to run with ABCPdf 9.1.2.5(x64).
At runtime, the application fails because of this message: "Failed to get MS Office installation path."
So far I couldn't find an explicit explanation of why this problem occurs.
The application pool uses the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" (instead of dedicated account) and Office has been installed with an account having Admin privileges.
I also followed recommandation on websupergoo website link here
Machine has been restarted after installation, DCOM config has been made accordingly to instructions given (both for folders and launch/activation);
Is there any way to login as Application Pool user in cmd to run WinWord once ?
Is there any AppData file to copy from one user to another - like for OpenOffice installation ?
For anyone trying this kind of configuration, please be aware that highest compatible version with AbcPDF is Office 2013. Office 2016 is compatible from version 10.
Below, answer from support
The highest version with ABCpdf 9 is Office 2013 - for Office 2016 you
would need to upgrade to ABCpdf 10.
Since office was preinstalled on my laptop, i had to reinstall office 365 through the Office app that was already available.. then abcpdf was able to find my installation path

How to install MS Dynamics CRM 2013 on 2 tiers (App + DB)?

I need to install MS Dynamics CRM 2013 on two tiers. I have two VMs and I want to install the database of the CRM on one instance and the app of the CRM on the other instance.
Kindly guide me how can this be done.
Regards,
F. Ali
I'd start out by looking at the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Implementation Guide and then asking a more pointed question if you run into a problem.
Here is the online version of the installation instructions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699742(v=crm.6).aspx
Install SQL Server on one VM and the CRM on the other, the installation will ask for the name of the SQL Server to use as part of the process.

Dynamics CRM Online 2011 vs Dynamics CRM Online 2013 [API Changes]

I am doing some research on building integrations for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration I am building will be for Dynamics CRM Online 2013, but I am curious if the 2013 version shares an API with the 2011 version.
Does anyone know if an integration built for Dynamics CRM Online 2013 will be backwards compatible with Dynamics CRM Online 2011?
Any insight here would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has good resources for working with these API's using Ruby that would be awesome...
Thanks!
I wrote some integration for CRM 2011 Online (C# and PHP/SOAP) and I can happily say both still work.
Any integration written with CRM4 in mind would need some modifications I believe (this may just be changing the endpoints) but 2011 and 2013 seem to work ok together.
If you are wanting to connect using a non .Net language be careful as it can be significantly more painful then creating a wrapper for the web service then talking to that from Ruby.
To connect with a non .Net language you need to use SOAP. I have put some posts here (PHP code but it should be easy enough to convert)

I currently don't have it working with Active Directory authentication though!
Everything that I've read about the API changes from 2011 to 2013 has boiled down to the removal of the CRM 4 aspx endpoint. Besides that, most of the changes to CRM are front end.
I read somewhere that a solution made in 2013 can't be exported in 2011. So I don't think will be retro-compatible.
Chapter-
Introduction to solutions
here it is from the SDK:
Version compatibility
Solutions exported from an older version can be imported into newer versions. Solutions exported from newer versions cannot be imported into older versions. This includes major and minor version differences.
Solutions exported from a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 environment or a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organization prior to the Fall '13 Service Update can be imported into organizations using the initial release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13 Service Update. However as updates are applied and include new features or metadata definitions, these new features or definitions cannot be included in a solution that is installed on an organization that is not current with the definition that the solution was exported from.
