• Windows XP, to run either Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook or the web application
• Microsoft Office 2003
• E-mail Router will no longer support:
– Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 for email routing and tracking.

(Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Exchange Web Services (EWS) will still be supported.)
Support will be added for:

• Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.2 (ships with Windows Server 2012 R2)
Legacy features that are no longer supported
With the launch of CRM 2013, Microsoft is officially dropping support for legacy CRM 4.0 features. These features were deprecated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and will no longer work with this new version.
Dynamics CRM 4.0 features that will no longer be supported:
• CRM 4.0 plug-ins
• CRM 4.0 client-side scripting
• CRM 4.0 custom workflow activities
• CRM 4.0 web service API (also known as the 2007 web service endpoints)
• ISV folder support for custom web applications
CRM 2011 SDK tool no longer required
The Solution Down-level utility, specifically built for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM December 2012 Service Update, is not required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013. Due to improvements to the solution framework, this tool is no longer needed.
Removal of CRM 4.0 client-side scripting
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 exposed global functions and form objects to form scripting with JavaScript. If you use any custom JavaScript within your current version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, then it is important to verify that this customized code does not disrupt a smooth upgrade to the next version of CRM.
