Microsoft MVP and longtime MSDW contributor Vjekoslav Babic's look at the licensing changes of NAV 2013 was the most read NAV article of 2013.  Given the importance of the licensing changes and how they would be interpreted by customers, partners, (VARs) and third-party developers (ISVs), it is understandable that the article was heavily read - and commented on.

And they even pose some risks - albeit manageable - when transitioning to the new licensing model. It seems Microsoft was in a big rush to discontinue the Light User license as soon as possible, but the question is: why? Let's take a look at who is really affected with this change, and in which way."
