Enterprise Portal license required for workflows with dynamics Ax 2009

Dynamics Ax workflow does require the Enterprise Portal (EP) license. License changes since Dynamics Ax 4 can be found here.

Please double-check that the EP license is well configured when the BC.Net throws the following exception (can be found in the Windows application-EventLogs):

Session log on for Microsoft Dynamics failed.
Dynamics Adapter LogonAs failed.

    This also applies if you want to use business connector through IIS. I programmed a webservice that connects to AX through BC, and without Enterprise Portal Framework license, it was unable to Logon AX. I did not setup any Enterprise Portal users, just the framework.

    Yes, you are completely right. The Workflow (WF) is hoted by the IIS and the communication is done by WebServices. So the same scenario...
