How to deploy AOT

Posted on by Fausat 222

Please I need help on how to access  AOT from my AX 2012 installation.  I have AX 2012 installed via  VM to aid my training and practice but notice when i press control + D or control+shift+w, the AOT does not come up. Then i check the Microsoft icon to the far right and discover the new development workspace greys out.  I then check under file>tools> option and notice my installation does not have the Development menu under options. 

Please what can I do to be able to launch AOT from my installation.

Any ideas, tips etc welcome

Thanks

    Hi Fausat,

    You have to load licence file to access AOT. Licence activation is mandatory. You can find licence file from VM files or you can ask your partner.

    Best regards,

    Hi Fausat,

    Sefa is correct about the need for another license. The current one might be expired. Note that you should be affiliated with a customer or partner to legally use a demo license. A new version of the license is available on customersource and partnersource.
