Hi, I have an issue with loading navision using developer’s license (both app dev & solution dev). I am able to work with the normal license but by loading new license in the local database and by renaming the old one to different name,the application getting crashed. The error says " Fin.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows.You will need to restart the program. ".Can anyone please provide a solution for this? Best Regards Hari
Hi Hari, Did you try testing the same with a NEW COPY of the Licence ? Regards, Srinivas Shetty
I think either your Navision installation or your license file are corrupted. There’s not much else to troubleshoot.
Hi All, Thanks.Now the application is working after replacing the new copy of the license.once again thanks for everything. Best Regards Hari
Whatever happened in the other topic anyway?!? http://www.mbsonline.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9343 [?]
I do hope that Hari and Nelson are NSCs. Either way this does not belong in the develop forum.

it had nothing to do with development in C/side so I locked it.
Hi David, I fail to understand your point. The NSC part, I mean.
point is, that posting the same question twice, causes a lot of confussion, as a moderator, I try to moderate confussion. In this case there is no issue of this being a c/side code error, so I locked it there and this one is still open.
This is no good, we are posting at too short intervals [:D] I understand that corrupted license files are a little off for the Developer forum. The question was only about the NSC remark. I don’t get it.
oic … from the profiles, it apears that hari and you are both end users, so you wouldn’t have access to an NSC license. BUT, re-reading the thread, Hari may have refered to an end user Developers license, in which case, please ignore my remarks. [:)] by the way, I notice that you edited your question, AFTER I had replied, that adds to the confussion.

As long as Microsoft-Navision allows customers to purchase license granules such as Solution Developer/Application Builder (like in my case), the existence of end-users with full developement potential is a possible scenario. Although not common, as I think most end-users with development aspirations will settle for a basic development license (forms, reports) at most. But the vast majority probably just relies on their MBS Partners for any customizations needed and doesn’t worry about accessing C/SIDE by themselves. Which, btw, is the smartest thing to do on all but a few special cases.
Hi Nelson, I agree, and I think the issue was my misinterpretation of the question. I read between the lines that “new license” meant that the old one had expired. Since end user licenses do not expire, I read this as an end user using a developers license. sorry for the confussion that I may have created. btw, I work with many end sers that have purchased the full development license, it is more common than many realize
And can you throw out an estimated percentage? Something like: Full-Dev. Custs. / Total Custs. = [?]% I’m really curious about it, thanks. [:)]
From my perspective a qualified guess is that the percentage of customers with a full-fledged developer license is below 0.5%. In Denmark (of course) there are lots of companies using Navision, but very few have the size to even consider having their own Navision development. Maybe the percentage is higher in other countries? The percentage is definitely growing, though. We see a lot of NSC-employees “semi-retire” and join the dark side. [;)][;)]
I think it is higher, maybe one in 50 to one in 25 in the US (2%-4%).
Thanks for the feedback, Steffen and David. It’s very hard for an end-user to have this kind of market perception. Easier for you guys that work a level above in the supply chain! [:)] Cheers
No problem Nelson, BTW the Navision expertise you display in this Forum would suggest that you were once an NSC-employee yourself. If not; I’m quite impressed with the knowledge you apparently have amassed autodidactly. I’m afraid we’ve strayed way off topic - I hope the moderator will forgive us?
Thanks Steffen [:I], but I’ll let you in on a secret: I cheat, I read the manuals… [:D][:D][:D] Actually, I have never been a NSC employee. But we do - I admit - some pretty strange things with Navision, and when you are pushing it the way we sometimes do, you get a much better insight and knowledge of the product than otherwise.
