Note

With Business Central 2023 release wave 1, the entitlement type Unlicensed is introduced. This type is used for scenarios when the user isn't licensed through entitlements mapping to AppSource offer plans.

The Unlicensed type of entitlement is only applied to users who don't have a plan, that is a license, defined in the app’s entitlements. You can test for the unlicensed scenario and perform your custom licensing as before for existing customers, allowing side-by-side support while transitioning existing customers to the new AppSource transactability model. For more information, see Selling Business Central apps through AppSource.

When Type is set to Role, the RoleType Property is used to further define whether the RoleType is Local or Delegated.
