ISSUE: The Subscription Settings service and corresponding application and proxy needs to be running in order to make changes to these settings.

When i was recently configuring SharePoint 2013 apps environment and trying to Configure App URLs by navigating from sharepoint 2013 central administration I got the below error.

"The Subscription Settings service and corresponding application and proxy needs to be running in order to make changes to these settings."

The above error comes when we didnt configure subscription setting services and this service we cannot configure from central admin. we can do it using power shell.

Here the script.

$account = Get-SPManagedAccount <domain\administrator>

$appPoolSubSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name SettingsServiceAppPool -Account $account

$appSubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication –ApplicationPool $appPoolSubSvc –Name "Subscription Settings Service" –DatabaseName SubscriptionSettings_Service_DB

$serviceAppProxy = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $appSubSvc
