Development license does'nt expired in NAV 2016

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello there, can anybody help please... When I upload an expired NAV License file in NAV 2016 it's still possible to connect to NAV RTC, but not to Development environment. It's also possible to upload expired development NAV 2015 license file in the NAV 2016 database server without any issue!!! Did anybody experienced this?

    Hi Alain,

    Lets make it 101 times :D,

    Install a fresh NAV DB, make another Instance(use different port), Now upload your licence and See what happens.

    Please donot copy from existing DB, install it from the DVD or the Setup file you have... Treat your existing NAV(installed one) as infected one...

    I have done all this guys!!! Restart service houndred times, import the license file into the database tousend times... Same issue with all NAV 2016 installations, even the user connection can go beyond the max users authorized conection in the license. But the NAV 2016 license works fine in the NAV 2016 Dev. Client and in the 2013 database Dev. client and RTC, not yet test in 2013 R2 and 2015. I think the problem is not the license but the NAV 2016 product version.

    After all we have been through, we can assume the License to be buggy, [tag:GOOD4U]...

    Saurav thanks for help but I'm experiencing the same issue with all NAV 2016 databases. I can send the license file.

    I have the same problem with all NAV 2016 database servers. Suresh I am using developer license and it was supposed to expire a few month ago, and I wondered that I'm still using it. When I start investigating I realized that also more than max no. of users can connect to the database: so the license does'nt control the max no. of connection.

    Hi,

    Check from dev. environment that is there a licensce saved in database.

    File - Database - Alter - Option(tab)

    IF Save licensce in database is true, uncheck it click ok. And again from same option check the boolean and select the new licensce file.

    Saved license have priority over uploaded licensce.
