Anybody knows what D365 BC - Embedded license is?
MartijnElfers this is what I heard back from the team:
- If you are an indirect reseller we recommend going to your Indirect Provider for licensing questions.
- If this is a question around ISV Cloud embed you can find information here: Microsoft Power Platform Partner Hub
-
If this customer bought these licenses from an ISV as part of an industry solution that ISV is part of ISV Cloud Embed which gives them access to SKUs that TDSynnex wouldn't see. The customer cannot just "add" new products to those embed licenses working with TDSynnex because TDSynnex is not an ISV in this program.
I am just relaying what was shared with me, so if this doesn't make sense, let me know. This is not my area of expertise. 🙂
Now that you mention it, I do remember the 'Embedded' license model with NAV indeed. Also didn't like that model 😛
I'm not sure how and with who they purchased this license, as the customer doesn't remember it either... they do have an ISV, so I guess I'll need to contact them.
I did not expect this model to continue in the Cloud. It's atleast not part of the CSP program. So now I'm wondering how they purchased this.
Most importantly is; why is this D365 BC Essentials - Embedded license not a qualified base license for an attach license?
This would really block any customer using 'embedded' licenses to upsell to other D365 solutions with attach model.

Thanks JillArmourMicrosoft! Looking into the program and reading the options and capabilities there, I can see that Embedded licenses are indeed a discounted SKU. Thus this would most probably be the reason why you can't just add a normal SKU as an attach to it (as the base pricing is set differently).
I also read that Sales Pro is not part of this program and thus not available as an Embedded SKU to attach to the BC Essentials Embedded license.
Seems that the customer has bad luck with this setup. Purchasing D365 BC Essentials Embedded does give them a discount for that SKU, but now they can't attach Sales Pro to their environment so they need to purchase that SKU for the full price now.
This would probably be more expensive than to purchasing normal BC Essentials with Sales Pro attach.
