You just use a user license with approperiate access to import data to Dynamics CRM. Exterbal Connector is required when you are moving CRM data to some otherdatabase synchronously or displaying CRM data to public.

But if you application is exposing data to public or not users of crm then you will have to go for external connector license. Even if you are creating a service that is synchronous and migrating data from crm database to your custom database, still you need an external connector license. For only services those who are not synchronous can transfer crm data to custom database for customer portals and service management.

Is something missing here? I guess, the information of the requirement of a connector license for accessing CRM's database discussed in this forum incomplete. What say? Hi Ayaz,
