basis license Process :or Where did I go wrong :)

[Former Member]

trying to get my solution up and running at customer site but cannot get connection string

I have registered solution at

https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/reg_addon/regaddon.htm

got the basis no BASIS000000xxxx and added the license to the Clients SAP B1 server, can see it in the License manager.

but when I go to generate the solution connection string at the customer site, I get the message saying 'No License found'

i.e administration->License->Addon Id Generator

select solution paste in the basis id and click generate.

on my PC any BASIS0000000000 infact (BASIS000000xxxx will work) number seems to work

What License am I missing?

does the user need to have an SDK license for me to be able to install an addon at there site.

I have tried to search out the information on SAP sites but there seems to be no clear answer.

so could someone explain to me what I have forgotton, Or alternatively where to go in SAP to find clear details of the license process...

I have the PDF SBO Licensce guide but it does not explain the Add On solution license at all!

Hi George,

when Generating the AddOnIdentifier at your machine you use the BASIS00000xxxx, but when adding your addon to the license key of the machine where it should run you should use the name of the addon when you registered it.

eq BASIS00000001234 and the name is Addon for my customer.

Hello George,

First of all, the string you generated in B1 is Add-on Identifier, not connection string. Connection string is generated by B1 application and passed to your Add-on through command line when you start your Add-on in B1. While Add-on Identifier is the unique string for your Add-on, every Add-on has different identifier.

Secondly, back to your question, when you generate the solution identifier, you need to make sure the user has SDK Development license, it is a MUST. In your situation, I think it might be possible that your customer do not have SDK Dev license, but you have in your machine.

On the other hand, the official process should be that you generate the identifier and put it in your Add-on code, compile to ".exe", and make a installation package, then deliver it, with ard file, to your customer. So, you should generate the identifier in your machine, instead of your customer's.

If you have any more question, please let us know.

Thanks Nick,so the Official process is to use my machine to create the Addon Identifier and compile to exe for customer.

Hi George,

I am sorry that I have not seen this doc in the web. I will try to search again If anybody knows, please let us know.

Besides, you should make a installation package for your exe generated. And, create an ard file by AddonRegDataGen, the tool in SDK pacakage. And deliver the two file -- installer and ard to your customer. Just like what we have Screen Painter, two files for installtion.

No Problems with package delivery process (using the B1De tool at moment)

I highly recommend it:
