Difference between Upload and Change in License Information

Usually we will be working on different add-ons and we also update the license depending upon the add-ons of different customer.

As we all know, We update the license by going to NAV IDE, Tools - > License Information.
In License Information window we see 3 tabs Upload, Change and Help.

Everyone will often get confused between choosing Upload / Change while updating the license information. So, its better to know the difference before messing up with assumption.

When you choose Upload, the license will get loads into Master database of SQL Server. Whenever  you open any NAV database of the server you are working on it will use the same license.

When you choose Change, the license gets loaded for active session only. When ever you close the current session and open a new client. It will be restored with its earlier license.

  1. I believe that if "Save license in database" is checked in File --> Database --> Alter (Integration tab) then Upload means loading it into the current NAV database only, not the Master database.
