NuGet Error NU1013

The following PackageReference items cannot specify a value for VersionOverride: PackageName. Projects using Central Package Management are currently configured to disable this functionality.

Issue

A project is configured to use NuGet Central Package Management and a <PackageReference /> item is defined which specifies a value for the VersionOverride attribute but this functionality has been disabled:

<PropertyGroup>
  <CentralPackageVersionOverrideEnabled>false</CentralPackageVersionOverrideEnabled>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="PackageName" VersionOverride="9.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Solution

• Remove the VersionOverride attribute from the <PackageReference /> item:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="PackageName" />
</ItemGroup>

• You can configure Central Package Management to allow or disallow VersionOverride with the MSBuild property CentralPackageVersionOverrideEnabled. See Overriding Package Versions for more information.
