My development server is having MS CRM 2013 Onpremises installed. It is possible to install MS CRM 2016 Onpremises on the same server?
No, this isn't possible. You can only share the backing SQL Server by creating Named Instances.
You could use a CRM 2016 Online instance as an alternative, but it would introduce additional costs which is not desirable for a development environment.
The same applies for an installation to an Azure VM.

I've done some research and found out that TFS 2013 has some limitations like no reporting, single server deployment, 5 devs etc. But I wonder if there would be any problem with using VS 2013 Pro with TFS 2013 Express.
To sum up :
Is there any problem with one of these two setups ? :
VS 2013 Pro (or Ultimate) - TFS 2013 Express - SQL Server Express
VS 2013 Community - TFS 2013 Express - SQL Server Express
Thanks in advance.
TFS is only limited to no reporting when you use SQL express which does not support those features.
If you have even a single MSDN licence they you are licenced to install TFS with SQL standard. That would give you the reporting capabilities as well.
Single server is also only a limitation of the free (without MSDN) version of TFS.
You can have as many MSDN licenced users AND 5 included users.
I do not believe that there are any issues with either configuration. However I would recommend that you use VSO indeed as you get TFS without having to use a server.
There is no relation between the "Express" name after Visual Studio and TFS. Visual Studio Express works perfectly fine with TFS Express as well as the fully licensed version of TFS and vice versa.
As Martin already mentions, if you have an MSDN subscription, you already have a full license to install and run Team Foundation Server.
If you don't have an MSDN subscription and do not own a Retail version of TFS, you can still use the free Express edition with a few limitations:
No Sharepoint integration
No report server integration
Limited in the number of users
Only a single server installation supported
You can always upgrade your Express installation to the full version at a later point in time.
Instead of the Express version, you should indeed consider visual-studio-online, while this also has a few limitations:
No reporting
No sharepoint integration
It has a number of advantages as well:
Much less administration required
Always up to date with the latest version
Online Build Service available
Integration into Azure
I might be slow or something but I can only find RU1 to CRM 2013. Where can I find the upgrade (not a full installer) to lift from 2013 to 2015? I've got one since before but after some confusion and a case of "too many cooks in the kitchen", it claims that it can't perform.
Where do I get the official upgrade from 2013 to 2015?
(Yes, I've googled for it. I get a lot but not the actual binaries from MS.)
To upgrade from CRM 2013 to CRM 2015 you need to install Service Pack 1 on the CRM 2013 server. Then, there are three options to do an upgrade, which is describet in the Implementation Guide for CRM 2015 and in short consists of the following steps:
In-place upgrade, pop the 2015 installation media on the existing server and run it.
New CRM server same SQL, install a new CRM server and point it to the old SQL server
Migration, install a new system with both CRM and SQL, then restore the ORG_MSCRM on the SQL server and import the organization using the deployment administration tool.
You have more info here, and there's also more info in the IG
Will Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Base have .net framework 4.5 in Amazon ec2 ?
I am setting up an Ami and wanted to use the free tier in Windows server 2012. I have a Asp.net MVC application with SQL Server 2012.
Was thinking of using SQL Express 2012
Yes, it does. The different SKUs are for the licensed product features such as IIS, SQL server, and Active Directory. Features like .NET are available on all SKUs.
I would like to install an application server that runs both AX 2012 and CRM 2011 (upgraded to 2013).
I would like to run it on a single server.
I have checked and there are no port conflicts, so should theoretically be possible.
Is there any thing besides ports that could cause this to fail?
Yes it is possible. Just installed AX 2012 R2 side by side with CRM 2013. No major issues. SQL on another box and seems to be working just fine.
I am building a development machine to do some testing.
Can I have CRM 2011 and SharePoint 2010 installed on the same machine? If yes is there a specific order in which they should be installed?
having build a CRM development environment on a single VM, I can confirm that installation on the same machine is, indeed, possible. The order where SharePoint is installed first has been recommended, from memory, since Beta. Some gotchas (basically, the idea is to disrupt CRM installation that follows as little as possible):
Make sure SharePoint is NOT installed on the default web site and use host headers to separate SharePoint from the default web site.
Do install CRM List Component prior to CRM installation.
Do NOT install Reporting Services in SharePoint Integration Mode.
The CRM installation after that is a straightforward process as per Implementation Guide.
Hope it helps.
