D365 F&O AOS Instance Name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 71

In D365 under System Administration / Server Configuration.   Couple of questions about the field AOS Instance name:

  1. Is this unique for a customer, which is running a production and test servers?   Will the production and test servers have their own AOS Instance name?
  2. If the D365 environment is hosted locally and the customer does a restore to a test environment, will this create the same D365 instance?   We have customers using AX2009 or AX2012 which will copy their production database to a test environment.   Was not sure if this is possible for D365?
  3. Can this data be retrieve using X++ code?

The ultimate goal is to find data which is unique for a D365 environment to be used for licensing purposes.   Back in my Business Central days, the Tenant Id could be used for those using BC on-line, if it was on-premise the tenant id would be an empty GUID.   Not sure if there's a similar data point in D365 or not.

If this is not clear let me know.

Thanks for the assistance.
