Business Central temporary license (Essentials)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MichelangeloR 105
We are working on a plugin for Microsoft Business Central with some customisations using AL: we can download the symbols in VS Code, we can write the code, but cannot deploy into the sandbox. At the moment we have free licenses. We would need an Essentials or Premium license to do this. Once the development has been completed we no longer require the license, it should then be a temporary (1-2 months) one. 
 
We asked one partner and they refused because it's not worth from their point of view. Does anybody know whether a temporary or short-term license is achievable?

    Hello,

    You can use Business Central trail for that.

    @Yash_Mistry Hi Yash, we have already activated the free trial but this doesn't allow us to deploy the extensions from VS Code to BC. So we can write the AL code but we cannot use in BC
