    I got it right, because I know that you have to create a certificate in master to protect the master key - but the question is a bit misleading.

    The question says: "You have created a master key already in the master database and in the CRM database".

    First, you do not create a master key in the CRM database. The master key is in the master database only. The key in the CRM database is called a "database encryption key" (DEK).

    Second, I don't even think it's possible to create the DEK in the CRM database without FIRST creating the certificate. Since you need this certificate when you create the DEK.

    Glad to know it was not just me... Still a good question Steve.
