Al: Licensing of table extension and page extension objects

Created on 1 Feb 2018  Â·  1Comment  Â·  Source: microsoft/AL

_Continuing issue #673_

In case the customer license contains a Starter pack, the object table range 50000..50009 is available. Does this imply that we will only be able to create a maximum of 10 table extension objects too? (Where in the past we could add fields to almost any table, without any license impact / additional cost for the customer.)

Stated otherwise, is the customer required to purchase 10 additional table objects (600 €) in case he would like to use 10 addition table extension objects (50010..50019)?

Or can table extension (and page extension) objects be obtained / included in the license for free? If so, how is the range assigned in the license file?

For what I have tested (and running now in a production environment) a customer license can run ANY table and page extension.

HOWEVER!

With a customer license you cannot publish an extension that has table or page extensions outside their table or page numbers. If you publish the extension with a partner license and then switch the service tier to the customer license everything is just fine.

My guess is that the publishing limitation is a bug and what I found is a workaround.
