Additional context We're phasing out the need for an developer license and want to use the Cronus license in all of our pipelines: Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 and the new CRONUS license: what you need to know. – Stefano Demiliani

[waldo1001]

We think we found the issue - next release!

[Arthurvdv]

Awesome! This is the last piece of our pipeline to have the need for a developer license, then we're fully free of this :-)

[waldo1001]

this should have been released in 1.462

[Arthurvdv]

Awesome and indeed the error is resolved now.

We're completely dev-license free now in our pipelines, thank you! :-)
