CRM4: Hiding tabs and sections

Hello all,
I am currently working on a small CRM project and one of the requirements was to hide a section and a tab onLoad.
// Hiding the Contract section
crmForm.all.contractid_c.parentElement.parentElement.style.display=’none’;
// Hide the KB article tab (2nd Tab)
crmForm.all.tab1Tab.style.display=’none’;
I’m sure you can use this in other ways (i.e:. onChange, onClick etc..).
Happy Coding!

Find/Retrieve/Get CRM 4.0 CD Key

Hello all,
For those wondering on how to find/retrieve/get your current CRM 4.0 CD key, you will have to query the MSCRM_CONFIG database.
SELECT LicenseKey FROM ConfigSettings
If you have the media (assuming it’s ordered using Volume licensing or using the SPLA media), you can look under DRIVE:\AMD 64 or I386\license.txt
