Hi,

I can't upload a licence to business central server. I tried a lot of things, and I constantly get this error. Did anyone had this error before. Kind Regards, Branislav

    I see you use the old format of the license file. Maybe you need to try with a file of the new updated format.

    Please find info about that here:

    I don't believe this is an issue, because one of my colleague is using it on the same database.

    Are there any other options except this?

    Kind Regards Branislav

    Hello,

    I haven't seen this error before but you may want to add -Database NavDatabase to your command line. Otherwise, feel free to raise it to support.

    Thank you.

    You need to Force the license file to be local and stored in the Business Central database that is used by the specified Business Central Server instance.
     
    Import-NAVServerLicense $ServerInstance -LicenseFile $path -Database  NavDatabase
