The plugin registration tool is one of the many tools we can add to XrmToolBox. However, this is a special tool created from the classical Plugin Registration Tool provided by Microsoft CRM SDK code sample. Undeniably It works with Dataverse, Dynamics 365 and CRM. Tap here for the latest releases. To demonstrate , I am going to provide a brief guide on how to install the tool. This guide shows screenshots of the tool and the expected result which may be outdated at some point but the procedure will mostly remain the same.

First launch XrmToolbox and install it as described here. This the how it should look:

Second, navigate to Configuration—> Tool Library and search for Plugin registration Tool.

Next, tap on install and that should do the trick. Now going back to the Tools tab and searching for “Plugin Registration tool” should come up with it and you can just click on it and connect.
