Now Manage 𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 Admin Center

A change is rolling out in the Business Central Admin Center this week:
-> 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫-𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐏𝐓𝐄) 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 will 𝐧𝐨𝐰 be 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 in 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐏𝐈.
What Administrators can now do:
• Upload PTEs directly through the Admin Center
• Schedule PTE installation and updates
• Manage PTE deployment operations centrally
• Automate these operations using the updated Admin Center API v2.29
This is more than just a new UI capability.

Microsoft is also announcing the upcoming deprecation of PTE management through the Extension Management page in Business Central.
One important consideration during the transition:
Scheduled PTE installations or updates are only visible in the experience where they were created — either Admin Center or Extension Management.
Once the deployment completes successfully, however, the installed PTE version becomes visible in both experiences.
The direction is clear: PTE management is moving toward the Business Central Admin Center and API-driven deployment.
For teams managing multiple Business Central environments, this could become an important building block for a more standardized and automated AL application lifecycle.
