License Validation (old)

You may find yourself in a situation where you have a ForNAV license installed but you continue to see the Trial message on your reports. There are a couple of things you can do to check the validity of your license.

Blue Trial Message

If the trial message is blue then it is a compatibility issue where you are running an older version of ForNAV on a newer version of Business Central or Windows. The ForNAV add-in checks if it was tested for the specific version of your service tier and operating system. In this case you need to upgrade to a newer version of ForNAV.

Red Trial Message

Run the report in Preview, then click the Information icon. In the About ForNAV box, click License Information. This will give you information about what the program found when searching for a valid license.

Please note that this information was added in version 3.0.0.1342. If your version of ForNAV is older than that, you have a couple of other methods outlined below.

Firstly, check the expiry date and NAV license number. Try to open your list of installed programs and find the installed license under Reports ForNAV license. If you select the entry in the list, then you can see the NAV license number and the expiry date (if one is set). This information is shown in the Comments field for the installed license.

If this does not give you the reason for the Trial message, then you can make a ForNAV report to show you the problem. Open any ForNAV report in C/SIDE and switch to Code view. Add a message in the OnInitReport trigger, just below the creation of the ReportForNav instance.

OnInitReport()

ReportForNav:= ReportForNav.Report(CurrReport.OBJECTID,CurrReport.LANGUAGE,SERIALNUMBER,USERID,COMPANYNAME);ReportForNav.Init;

MESSAGE(ReportForNav.TrialMessage);

The next time you run the report it will try to show you where the problem with the license is.
