.Synopsis Imports a Business Central license into the Business Central database. .Description The function exports the current installed license from the BC ServerInstance, and reads the license details from the new license file. The new license is compared with the current license. If there are any discrepancies, the function will display warning messages indicating the issues. The function can be forced to complete the license import even if some validation have not passed succesfully by using the Force switch. .Example # Set-BcLicense -ServerInstance 'BC210' -LicensePath 'c:\temp\myLicense.bclicense' -Database 'NavDatabase' -RestartServerInstance #> function Set-BcLicense { [Alias('Import-BcLicense')] [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param( # The name of the BC ServerInstance used to import the new license file.
