Uploading a license to a tenant in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Managed Service

The Dynamics NAV Management Portal has been updated to enable you to upload licenses directly on tenants.

Previously in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Management Portal, tenants always used the license that was set up on the application service, which you specified through the application that was running on the service. You could not specify different licenses for specific tenants. After you install this update, you can now set up licenses on a tenant basis. From the tenant page, you can upload a license file and import it to the tenant database. If you do not upload a license on the tenant, then the license on the application service is used.

To specify which license to use on a tenant, open the tenant page, and then use the Tenant License Status field to upload the license file. The following table describes the different values of the Tenant License Status field. Note You can upload a different license at any time. However, you should be aware that if the Tenant Status is Active, then users will be temporarily disconnected until the license is imported.

If you want to view some details about a tenant's license, open the tenant page, and then choose the Download License Information. The license information is stored in a .txt file that you save to your computer or network.

When you copy a tenant, the new tenant does not include the license from the original tenant. When you move a tenant, the tenant keeps the same license.
