Some time ago I published the first version of ISV License Generator to help us generate a license for a Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations ISV solution, using a CSP cryptographic USB token instead of a software certificate.

With the new ISV License Generator version 0.2 I’ve implemented support for SHA-2/SHA-256 while keeping support for SHA-1 until it’s deprecated.

You can download ISV License Generator v0.2 (read below for version 0.3!) and contribute or check the code in Github.

This post is a product of not reading the full documentation. Lesson #1: read the docs thoroughly, or at least don’t stop reading when you think you’re done.

Publishing an ISV solution

One of the steps when you want to publish an ISV solution is generating the license for your customers. This license has to be signed  using an Authenticode certificate that will enable the solution, limit the number of users or set an expiration date.
