Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
Hello @C, Rishikesh (623-Extern-IBM)
As the detailed information you have shared, I understand that you really want to have the advice immediately; however, because this forum is only focused on Microsoft 365 apps experience, while your situation is related to the Dynamics CRM on‑premise setup and its connection with SQL Server during the validation stage, this type of scenario often requires deeper technical investigation and support from specialists who focus specifically on Dynamics deployments.
To make sure you receive the most accurate and up‑to‑date guidance, I recommend posting your question on the official Microsoft Dynamics Community forum. This forum is monitored by product experts and experienced professionals who regularly assist with CRM installation and configuration scenarios like yours.
You can access the forum here:

I apologize for redirecting you elsewhere, but in this case, you will need a quality answer from the right forum with specialists in this field and from other users facing the same challenge. This also increases the overall chance of discovering a suitable solution.
Wishing you all the best!
