How to check max number of licensed users?

infonote

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can check the max number of users allowed by the license?

Thanks

Hi,

Have a look at the licence with Tool -> licence information. It is slightly different depending how old the licence, but look for the number of sessions

This info is stored in the licensefile. Nav reads here the license

jversusj

can't you also click File --> Database --> Information, then click 'Sessions' tab and read value of "Licensed Sessions" field?

this may be easier for some end users...

(of course, don't you have to subtract 2 licenses automatically for the server?)

i think he need it via C/AL.
If not, go to File -> Database -> Info -> Session (as jversusj said)

how would you get it via C/AL? would you have to call the License Information table and skip through lines until you got the line regarding the sessions? just curious...

i doesn't read it with C/AL because u can't do it (without breaching the fingers). These infos are stored in the license file self. NAV read it when you load the client and connect to a server. Wit native server the license file is in the server directory as fin.flf (how to connect there to the directory [permission problems]), with sql it's stored in the master database in a separate table as BLOB.

Hi,
it so easy, try this sample of code:

VAR
LicenceInf@50000 : Record 2000000040
MaxUsers@500001: Integer

LicenceInf.SETFILTER(Text,'%1%2%3', '*',  '1,200', '*'); // granule id filter
LicenceInf.FINDFIRST; // if error raised, probably developer licence
EVALUATE(MaxUsers, DELCHR(COPYSTR(LicenceInf.Text,STRLEN(LicenceInf.Text) - 5), '<>'));
MESSAGE('Max number of licensed users: %1', MaxUsers);

8) & :whistle:

I know, that this topic is for Classic Client, but to make sure, this information is RTC-ready, here is the working code for Dynamics NAV 2017:

CLEAR(MaxUsers);
CLEAR(LicenseInformation);
CLEAR(ActiveSession);

LicenseInformation.SETFILTER(Text,'%1', '*450*');
IF LicenseInformation.FINDFIRST THEN REPEAT
      CLEAR(MaxUsersLineCount);
      EVALUATE(MaxUsersLineCount, DELCHR(COPYSTR(LicenseInformation.Text,STRLEN(LicenseInformation.Text) - 5), '<>'));
      MaxUsers += MaxUsersLineCount;
  UNTIL LicenseInformation.NEXT=0;
