I am ultimately trying to upload a developer license to a docker container running Business Central.

I have tried -> Partner Source -> Developer Tools -> License Key Configurations, and downloading the license key from there. I get a text file from this method, and when I try to import the license via Import-BcContainer (with a link to the license text file as a secure URL) I get this error message: Import-BcContainerLicense : Specified license file appears to be corrupt

How do I fix this?

You need to get hold of the person that have the correct access in MPN and Partnersource to achieve this.

The txt file is only a description of what is in the license, it is not the actual license file.

If you think you are the person who should have access to downloading licenses and don't succeed then you can open a operations case with Microsoft through partnersource.

I've been configuring licenses for years now, but now it's suddenly gone.. I have tried to call Microsoft (easier to call the Queen), I've tried supportcases, no luck..

Hi, This requires a purchase and is not free.

And just adding some info:

License files in the .flf format for Business Central on-premises will be Removed in Business Central 2023 release wave 1.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/deprecated-features-platform#flfformat

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
