Business Central temporary license (Essentials)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MichelangeloR 109
We are working on a plugin for Microsoft Business Central with some customisations using AL: we can download the symbols in VS Code, we can write the code, but cannot deploy into the sandbox. At the moment we have free licenses. We would need an Essentials or Premium license to do this. Once the development has been completed we no longer require the license, it should then be a temporary (1-2 months) one. 
 
We asked one partner and they refused because it's not worth from their point of view. Does anybody know whether a temporary or short-term license is achievable?

    Hello,

    You can use Business Central trail for that.

    @Yash_Mistry Hi Yash, we have already activated the free trial but this doesn't allow us to deploy the extensions from VS Code to BC. So we can write the AL code but we cannot use in BC

    Hello @MichelangeloR,

    If you give me the exact publish error from VS Code, I can tell you the real cause.

    @Yash Mistry sure, this is the error in VS Code when I try to deploy: 
     
    ```The request for path /v2.0/Sandbox_02/dev/apps?tenant=***.com&SchemaUpdateMode=synchronize&DependencyPublishingOption=default failed with code UnprocessableEntity. Reason: Your licence does not grant you the following permissions on TableData 2000000206 Published Application: IndirectInsert for company CRONUS UK Ltd```

    Hello @MichelangeloR,
     
    Might be two cases you can cross-check these:
    -Check whether the user publishing the extension has the SUPER permission set assigned, or assign the required extension publishing permissions in Users.
    -Check whether there is a company in that Sandbox that is not an evaluation company and has now expired.

    mark answer as verify if it helps.

    @Yash_Mistry I've checked:
    - I definitely have SUPER permission, as well as EXTEN. MGT. - ADMIN where I can see the TableData 2000000206;
    - in the Sandbox I see 2 companies, CRONUS UK LTD. which has Evaluation Company ticked; then I see My company which has Evaluation Company unticked.
     
    Anyway, in VS Code I'm using CRONUS UK LTD.

    I’m not sure if the code you’re trying to add is causing this issue or if it requires an upgraded license. As a test, try adding a small change—such as a simple column in a table—and check if you’re able to publish it. If that works, then your current code might be sensitive and require elevated permissions. Also, were you able to successfully publish the same using your partner license?
