Power Platform / Dynamics 365 Licensing
Hi, We're developing a model driven app containing both core and custom tables, however, we're struggling to understand the licensing that our customers need. The confusion we have is over whether we can license our customers with a Power Apps Premium license or whether they need a Dynamics Sales Enterprise license. Our model driven app consists of approximately 120 custom tables, and 19 core tables with some customizations. From the Sales Hub we include Campaign, Campaign Response, Lead & Marketing list. From the document we have read it appears to us that we need a single Dynamics Sales license to perform the install, and then each customer can have a Power Apps Premium license, as this provides CRUD access to the custom tables and the core tables included in our App. Is this understanding correct? From the sales license document it appears that a sales license is only required on the qualify lead operation which we do not make use of. Is this correct? We have had numerous conversations where some people have said all customers need a Dynamics Sales license because we've got Lead in our model driven app, and then others have said that the Power Apps Premium license will cover leads. We need to make sure that the licensing guidance we give to our customers is correct, without them finding out under a Microsoft audit that the initial guidance was wrong. Any clarification would be much appreciated. Regards, S. Tooley Technical Architect Time for Advice Ltd.
