How to Setup / Create Device User ( ISV ) on Business Central / LS Central Application System

Devices that are supposed to be setup as ISV devices (and licensed as such) should be setup in the system table User, as an Device only user, otherwise they obtain a full user to connect.

Following are the steps to create new Device user / ISV device license on Business Central / LS Central Application

  1. Identify How Many ISV Device License Available with your Current License
  2. Create Device Card
  3. Create Device User Card

For identifying no of ISV device license available with your current Business Central can do by performing following steps

a) Permission Report Detailed.txt file with ISV Device License Find

Open the “Permission Report Detailed.txt” file received along with your current license and search for “ISV Device” like mentioned on the following image.

OR

So enter a unique number of device you want to assign this license and if possible enter actual Mac address for other ISV partners. But its all depends on how they validating.

Device Type: Enter value as ISV
