License problem

yekede

Hi all,
we have made some development(new tables, forms...etc) using a partner license. The problem is now we want to test with the customer's license but it's impossible because we are getting an error message and we can't run any of the tables and forms with the customer's license.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you buy new objects for the customers license? And assign those object id numbers for use by that license?

Check the license file and if it is not correct call Microsoft. As a general rule you should look at the customer license before you start a project to determine if they will need new objects and/or what objects they have available.

Hi what do you mean by buying new objects for the customer licence?
The customer license is ok(we sold it to them) and the customer license can use all objects except the new ones we developped. Explain more please.

You have to buy custom tables, forms, reports, etc. Granules 8200 to 8600. How many custom objects are they allowed to have? What did you sell them?

There is a config file that comes with the license. It shows which ids these objects have been assigned to. They will be assigned somewhere between 50,000 and 99,999. There is also a download available on Mibuso that shows what custom objects are available in the license.

You can't just blindly develop with a partner license and expect it to work in a customer license.

Hi,
do you mean that a customer license must have granules 8200 to 8600 if they are to use fonctionnality brought by complementary development? Can you explain in details all other necessary requirement which are needed for this or indicate appropriate documentation?
I have one other question: Which database must be used for development? in the introduction book it is said to load an untouched database from product CD; is it the CRONUS database?
Thanks for any explanation.

You need to sit down with someone more senior to you at your company. The questions you are asking are basic, required knowledge before you even begin doing development.

Granule 8200 is for a 10 pack of tables. If you want to add a custom table to the customer's database you must purchase this granule. The object id range will probably be 50,000 - 50,009. The same holds true for Forms, Reports, Codeunits, and all other objects in Navision. You must purchase the granule for each one if you want to add that type of custom object. If you do enough development you will run out of custom objects and the customer will have to buy more.

This is knowledge that is learned by reading the manuals and from other members of your staff. Everyone here is willing to help you, but you need to learn the basics of development first. For the licensing part of it, that is part of what you learn when you become a partner.

You should develop in a copy of the customer's database. If it is not for a specific customer, the Cronus database is fine. That is what is used in all of the manuals.
