Getting past the 3 Live ID/Day/IP Limitation for CRM Online or Windows Surface Pro

If you are moving to CRM Online or implementing Windows Surface Pro’s to enable your users to be mobile while they use CRM then you will need to create Windows Live IDs for each user. However, you will run into a blocking mechanism if you try to setup more than 3 in a day. The Live ID system in an effort to ward off malicious individuals, spammers and other low lifes locks down the creation to 3 or fewer new Live IDs from one IP address per day.

However, this is a way around the blocking mechanism by requesting a white listing of your account and IP address.

Note: this limitation isn’t an issue if you are creating user IDs inside of the Office 365 administration panel.

Step 1 – go to IP WhiteListing Form

Step 2 – Get redirected to the success page after submitting the form.

Step 3 – Receive your approval by email about 3 hours later (this is the turn around I received during a weekday)
