Restore Native Navision (3.7) 2Gb into Navision 4.0

Fioa

Hi,

We have installed Navision 4.0, but are unable to restore a native database (created in 3.7). I get the error that the license we have does not permit us to restore such a large database. Could anyone give me any more information on this issue i.e. which license I should be looking at etc. This is a matter of urgency.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to use your client license. It looks like you are using Cronus license.

Thanks - it's my first attempt at installing Navision and restoring a database. How do I know which license file to open? We have two installation CD's 1 normal and one with SP1. Will have a look around and see what I can come up with.

There is a w1w1ism.pdf on the doc folder of the product CD. This describes installing navision, making backups, installing licenses etc.

Hi again,

I tried re-installing Navision on my laptop as specified in the W1W1ISM.pdf document. I installed the database server as custom and chose the license file that I recieved on a seperate CD. I still get the same error though 'You cannot use such a large database with this program license'. I viewed the license file and have inserted the detail below:

I downloaded the software from our MSDN site and the license file was an additional download from there. Is it possible that I am still using the wrong license file? How can I tell?

Thanks

Yes this is the wrong license. this is a demolicense provided by microsoft for testing with a smaller database.

If you are a certified partner your organistation should have a developerslicense (4) and a testlicense (3). You can use either one of them to restore the database.
