NAV2015. I'm getting the error "This license is not compatible with this version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV" when I try to open the demo-database I restored manually in SQL.
Anybody any idea what's wrong?
I already tried to put a developers-flf in the RTC and Service-map. But no success.

Did you download new NAV2015 License from VOICE?
Did you Upload the license and restart the service?

Hi Tino,

Luc had the same.
He shorten the database name and it was solved.

I got the right license.
But I guess I was to tired last friday, because I did not to the obvious second thing you suggest. :-)

Opened the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Development Enviroment and uploaded the license. After restart it off course worked fine! Thanks!

I see it. Thanks for the link. My problem was lack of concentration I guess. ;-)

Let's see if I can subscribe for Luc's blog. :-)

Why does every version require a different licence now? For customers it means they cannot do anything with a new version before ordering the licence, and after ordering Microsoft says cannot go back to the old one after 6 months. So it means if you do the migration in-house because you bought the developer licence, you have 6 months from technical evaluation, learning, to go live. It also means that theoretically it would become illegal to use 2 versions, such as migrate only your customers, open orders etc. but keep your old posted entries in the old database and use it as a read-only lookup only when the data is needed. I am sure this could not be enforced in the EU (you cannot be locked out from your own old data no matter what), still it is weird.

Aren't customers officialy allowed to use a read-only database with an old license?
I've used it to at customer site to have the possibility of checking how things looked in the classic client.
