MSDYN365BC - How many free objects?

Hi Readers,

I recently attended the NAVUG / BCUG Summit from the Dynamics Community.

I heard a lot of rumors about free objects in the Business Central on-prem version, so I want to write an article about it based on what I know from Microsoft after creating a ticket with Microsoft.

So if you heard that all custom objects are free with Business Central on Prem, sorry to tell you that You heard it incorrectly.

I am sorry if you feel bad after reading this.

This article clarifies what objects are free with Business Central.

Based on my discussion with Microsoft here are the following findings -

1. A business central on-prem license can be bought in two variants (for full users) -

  • Essential Users.
  • Premium Users.



2. If a customer upgrades license with Essential User then they get 10 Free Codeunits as shown below.



3. If a Customer license is upgraded with Premium Users then they get 1 set of Tables, 1 set of codeunits, 1 set of pages and 1 set of Xmlport which means.

  • 10 Tables.
  • 10 Codeunits.
  • 100 Pages.
  • 100 Xmlport.


After this customers can purchase A La Carta other objects sets. A set contains -

  • 10 Tables in a set.
  • 100 Pages, Reports, Codeunit, XMLPort & Queries in a set.

I hope it clarifies the doubts that you have about the Business Central license. 

Stay tuned for more.

  1. I'm not sure what the 2 diagram with "Codeunits (10 codeunits)" in it is showing. What are all the designers there for.

    We have essentials. Can we buy a license to get what's included in Premium without upgrading all users to premium (about $20k)

    1. So you cannot mix and Match with Premium and Essentials.
      Designer is old C/AL logic which allow you to design objects from Object Designer.
      With AL Programming you can create all object type without any designer license.

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
