License Info and Access Rights

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Amit Arora 415

I am a new developer/learner, and connects remotely to NAV located at client end.

My client has two NAV partners (say A and B) who worked on their solution implementation.

I can see they have created some new tables/codeunits.

I am baffled understanding how licensing, object access, and user access work together.

Some queries,

1. What does this License information tell


****************************************************************************
Name                                                                  Amount
----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
350 Starter Pack                                                           1
360 Extended Pack                                                          1
450 Full User CAL (Concurrent User)                                        7
450 Full User CAL (Concurrent User) - Upgrade                              3
8100 Codeunits (each)                                                     20
8200 Tables (10)                                                          20
8350 Pages (100)                                                         100
8750 XML Ports (100)                                                     100

2. I am able to DESIGN almost all tables, however, when i try to DESIGN ANY of CODEUNIT, error show up saying "you do not have permission to run the 'design, codeunit, basic' system". My user has SUPER permission assigned.

3. When I ask Partner A to give me access to CodeUnit, he tells me that he himself doesn't have access to them as they belong to Partner B's license range. License range??? I'm really confused with this licensing thing, any help?

    RE: License Info and Access Rights

    @Tharanga, regarding your statement from point 3, "a default customer license will not allow you to do the modification to NAV objects" - is this generally true or only for codeunits?

    AFAIK, a default customer license with Starter Pack functionality (which comes with three Full Users) allows you to perform some customization / modification:

    • Change existing reports and create (100) new report objects
    • Change existing table definitions and create (10) new tables
    • Change properties on fields (such as the field name) add new fields to existing tables
    • Create (100) new XMLport objects
    • Create (100) new queries

    Is this correct?

    1. This means your company has brought a full NAV license which include Sales, Marketing, Assembly, and manufacturing.  Extended pack means you have the access to manufacturing module.

    You have the 10 users license and that means your NAV system can be access by 10 simultaneous users.

    This license have 20 codeunits, 20 tables, 100 pages and 100 xml ports. That means your company can have these objects addition to the default objects. Mainly these objects are been used for development.

    2. It is not about the user permission assigned. It is all about the license objects, because only the developer license allow you to do the development or modifications to the object.To check, which objects belong to your license, select all NAV objects in object designer (CTRL+A) and then press (Ctrl+alt+L). Then the object in your license range will get locked and other objects which are not get locked are the once you do not have access.

    3. As mention early you need to have a developer license to do the modification or new development. It is a separate license. With a default customer license will not allow you to do the modification to NAV objects.

    hi,

    license range means, that a nav partner, if they have deeloped a module, usually get their own range of object IDs from microsoft, e.g. 150.000-151.000. there is also a license range, if you have a developer license: you can use/create nav objects with object IDs between 50.000 and 99.000.

    nav partners, who deliver a module within their license range, do normally not deliver a code change right to customers.

    first ask both nav partners, what are their license ranges.

    a hint is the value in the version list. each nav partner uses an own abbreviation of the company name and/or the module name. if you know that, filter all objects by using the abbreviation. select the category item "All" in the objects list to view all nav objects, then set the cursor in the object designer into the version list field, press F7 key and write e.g. *OPM* as filter, then press OK. in this sample the abbreviation of the nav partner module is OPM.

    to check, which objects you can change, select all nav objects in object designer (CTRL+A) and then press F11 to compile all objects. only the objects, for which you have change right have the modified flag and a new date at the end.

    changing of codeunits (and also other standard nav objects): to do that you need a full developer license. with "basic"/starter licenses you can only edit a couple of objects, mostly within the range of 50.000 and 99.000 and only few standard nav objects. if you do not have a dev. license, only your nav partner can make changes on standard objects.
