How do we determine the difference between the licenses? I would like to be able to modify screens so which license do I need?
If I understood you correctly, you want to change the Forms (windows) of the application so you will need to purchase granule 7120 Form Designer. Ask your Microsoft Partner for pricing information.
Sorry I should have clarified what I’m trying to do. I am writting an enhancement that i want to integrate into Navision. What license do I need or what tools do I need to purchase?
And is this enhancement an external application or is it something developed inside Navision itself? Since you are asking this question, I take it to be the former, correct?
I want to place an icon on my screen to call an external application.

There are three main levels of developer license: 1) Report designer - you can design reports and dataports in full view (you can see C/AL code). Forms, tables can be changed only without access to C/AL code (Forms - you can change visual layer, table - you can add and modify fields) (same with Form designer and table designer) - granule 7100, 7110, 7120, 7130, 7140 2) Application builder - you can design all objects with full access. You are not able to modify objects, working with “protected” tables (for example posting rutines etc.) - granule 7200 3) Solution developer - you can design all… - granule 7300 This was originally posted in microsoft.public.navision newsgroup by Kamil S. I find it very useful and always refer to it when I need to refresh my memory on developers’ granule. [:D] Anna
OK… so I need Granule 7300, do I buy that directly from Microsoft? Also, does anyone know if there is education requirements? Exams to take? Thanks![^]
You really should be able to do everything with 7200 (Half the price). Note that for 7200, you will need 7100 - 7140. All granuales come from your NSC. If you need to add data to protected tables, use the journals/posting routines. There are no exams to take to buy the license although i would recommend a training course to get the full potential.

But it really does look like you need only Form Designer (7120). Have you any idea of the cost associated with a full-fledged development license? [:O]

I think the button (icon) will have to call something. If it is an external application, then you would need to write code to fire off the application. Hence Application Builder would be required. The only way I can see to get around this would be to have the button call a report from the properties and create a new report which would contain the code. For this you would still need Report Designer [:D]
Or create a report, and on the request form create a button with the icon etc, and all the code and local variables. Then just copy paste the button from report designer to the form designer.

Does anyone know the prices of these Granule’s? It sounds to me like I need 7300. Thanks
Don’t know exactly what it will cost you. Maybe there is a difference in pricing between USA and the Netherlands? What I know; Sulotion Developer is/was 35 (!) times the price of Form Designer! [Wow!]

Regarding the question in the subject; Solution Developer was/is 3.5 times the price of Application Builder. Hence Application Builder is 10 times the price of Form Designer.

Ah, yes, that’s right, silly me. I forgot that “something” must call the external application… so, there are basically 3 solutions: 1) Buy Form Designer and Application Builder (or does App. Builder require Table, Report and Form Designer?); 2) Buy Form Designer and Report Designer and do it like David says; 3) Ask you Microsoft Partner to create the button. Anyway I look at it, I don’t see why you would need Solution Developer.
