On-prem app installation best practice

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

For the cloud version of BC we have appsource. But what is the best practice when it comes to installing on-prem?
As far as I know, all .app files can be extracted with a tool like winrar or 7zip to reveal the full source code.
Obviously, as an ISV, I don't want to send these insecure .app files to partners or end users.

What's an ISV to do to deliver apps to end users in a secure way?

Regards,

Erik

On-prem app installation best practice

Have you found the solution?

I understand , runtime package can be created

what about the object range, can an app with million range be installed on on-prem?

or do we need to convert into 50K range

do we just email them a runtime package and client will install himself and our app is safe and cannot be cracked

Please guide.

Thanks

Thanks, this is exactly it!

I didn't even know runtime packages existed.

For on-premise you can use Runtime Packages:

Hi,

Have you tried to sign you app? docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-sign-extension

I do not know if it would help you but I think it is best starting point.

Best regards,
