Counting Named Subscription Users in NAV – 2nd part

In my previous post, I tried to explain how to handle with named users in NAV. But I’ve got a few feedbacks with some additional questions I didn’t cover in this text.

The main question was what if I want to stop to use some account temporary, for example because sick leave or vacation or something similar? In this case, we can disable this user.

DisableNamedUsers

When you try to login the next time, you can see system will not count disabled users. Then you can decries number of users for some period. When your user come back, you need to increase number of users in your license and just enable this user.

Second very important topic is that you must to know when you buy for example 3 subscription users, you will get 5 (you will get 2 users for free, but with limited usage). This is because 1 user is for intended for partner work and 2nd users is for external accountant, but remember an EXTERNAL accountant. You need to create them on beginning to avoid misuse of license rights and use it for internal processes.

And on the end, if you already have the maximum number of full users and want to create new limited user, because you have licensed more limited users, anyway you will get message that this is not possible because the new user don’t meet the terms of the current license.

This is only because of that, Full User is default user. You just need to change License Type option to Limited and it will be OK.

One thought on “Counting Named Subscription Users in NAV – 2nd part

  1. How do you designate the license user for the partner? I cannot figure out how to activate the “free” license, and the system limits adding users to the number of subscriptions purchased (not the +2). I am using the “full user” license type.
