How To Export Data From Managed Package Fields With Salesforce Data Loader?

System administrators may notice that they are unable to export production org data contained in fields created by a managed package. The same export in Sandbox returns the data as expected.

This behavior occurs when access to the data is controlled by a license set by the managed package, and that license is not assigned to the admin in Production.

Licenses are not enforced in sandbox, so the same limitation does not exist in that environment.

To resolve this issue, assign the package license to the system admin to allow them to export the data in production.
