Hi experts,

I have a Business Central on-premises version 17.0.16974.0 that I cannot connect to using Visual Studio Code from the same computer.

I get this error:

    Did you upload a valid licence file. The issue may be the licence file

    Hi Chameera.

    I only had the default licence. As soon as I installed a developer licence, it just worked fine.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards,

    Morten
