Acquire and install a new Dynaway license file
Acquire new Dynaway license file
If you want to update your license for Dynaway Mobile AM, you must first acquire a new license file. In order to acquire a Dynaway Mobile license file for AM in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, send an email to help@dynaway.com and provide the following version information:
- License holder name
- Serial number of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations
- Product version number of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations
Find this information in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations by selecting Help & Support (the question mark icon in the upper-right corner of the application) > About.
If you update your Dynaway Mobile solution from an older version to a newer version, the license file may also need to be updated due to certificate updates.
Import License File
There are two ways to deploy the Dynaway license:
a) Add the license with Dynaway models to the pipeline in DevOps, create an all-in-one package and deploy on an environment
b) Add the license to the Dynaway Deployable package (in case there are no other customizations / ISVs in the system) or modify the existing All-in-one package.
This section uses a deployable package to import the Dynaway Mobile for Asset Management license file into Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
Prerequisite: You already have a license file (.txt) from Dynaway, as described in the Acquire license file section.
Dynaway Mobile uses ISV licensing as described on Microsoft Docs: Create a package and generate a customer-specific license.
Follow the step-by-step instructions described in the three test cases below to create a deployable package, then upload and import it.
