Registration

Certify for Business Central requires a license to run in a production environment. This page explains trial mode and how to register.

Trial Mode (Sandbox)

When the app runs in a Business Central sandbox (SaaS) environment, it operates in full trial mode. All functionality is available and no registration key is required. This lets you evaluate the app and test your configuration before going live.

When you open the Setup or Expense Reports pages in a sandbox without a license, you will see a notification confirming that everything is available in trial mode.

Production Mode

In a production environment, the Certify functionality is locked until the app is registered. If the app is unregistered in production, you will see a notification:

This version of the Certify App is not registered, Certify functionality is not available in a production environment without a license.

Actions such as Get Expense Reports, Show Lines, and Generate Journal are disabled until a valid license is detected.

How to Register

  1. Purchase a license for the Certify App from hougaard.com. You will receive a registration key by email.
  2. In Business Central, open the Certify Setup page.
  3. Choose the License/Register action.
  4. On the registration page, enter your Registration Key from the receipt email.
  5. The key is validated and, once accepted, the page closes and functionality is enabled.

Checking License Status

On the registration page, once registered, you can see the License valid until date. Your license is valid until that date; visit hougaard.com to renew before it expires.

Changing or Renewing a License

If your license has expired or you need to enter a new key, use the Change License action on the registration page to enter an updated registration key.
