Extension installation for On-Premise

(5) Share

Report

Posted on by IndraDeMesmaeke

Hello,

We are a SaaS company that has built a Business Central Extension which had now been published to AppSource for Business Central Online.

We now have a case where a customer wants to install this app in Business Central 24 On-Premise. We understood from our customers partner they need to update their license to include our objects before it can be installed, for which they need our ISV provider company name. None of the names we expect to work are valid according to them, so we fear we are missing out on a process required for this to work.

Can anyone help shed light on how we can confirm what this ISV provider name is or help guide us in the right direction on what must be done to get this license stuff to work for on-premise? We currently lack on-premise knowledge and have trouble finding good sources on this.

Thank you

Hi,

Objects in Range: 70,000,000-74,999,999 for Business Central Online Only. A on-prem Customer cannot install extension with objects within this range.

For You Steps will be (AFAIK) -

1. Reach out to Microsoft to get purchase a new range of objects 1,000,000-69,999,999.

2. Check with Microsoft that will it be a valid update if you change the object Number Microsoft will not have a problem.

3. If yes, then renumber your extension objects with New Range (that works on On-prem and SaaS - 1,000,000-69,999,999).

4. Then republish your app to AppSource for validation as update.

5. After app is live in AppSource then you can share app file for on-prem customers.

This is technical possible because Object No can be changed and it's not a destructive change.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Saurav Dhyani

Unfortunately, you cannot use the same object range that you have built for AppSource for On-Premise installation. You need to renumber them in a custom object range or obtain the On-Premise ISV object range to number them. What we did was use the Custom Object Range 50000-99999 to update our objects and utilize them in On-Premise. We are glad that we have an option in App.Json where you can restrict downloading the source or debugging if you are concerned about the security of our app.

Please contact Microsoft, they will give you an application form to fill out. After Microsoft has reviewed it, you can regenerate the customer's license and install your AppSource extension directly on On-Pre.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, when you submit the Object Range Request Form during your initial application, there is an option so you can use 7 million object range also in OnPrem.

Once selected, you can add the partner or indirect partner as reseller in PartnerSource Business Center which allow you to add this module to customer license.

First of all, thanks for the insight everyone. Together with the information from the Operations Center it helped us construct what is needed for the process.

I would like to provide closure for anyone else stumbling across the same question.

Using the same object range for On-Premise and AppSource is OK as is documented

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-object-ranges

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/readiness/get-started#requesting-an-object-range

Contact your Regional Operations Team and explain you want to register an ISV module, normally they can send you the request form that is needed

Contact mail can be found in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/readiness/get-started#requesting-an-object-range

Fill out the form for your new ISV module and make sure to add it to the necessary product lines

After the Operations Center handles registrations you should see two new options in your PSBC portal in the development section

Manage Objects

Manage Authorized Resellers

Add the according permissions to your objects

In our case the customer has a microsoft partner so we requested the necessary information from them to add them as a reseller

The partner can take it from here to update the customer license and perform installation of the app
