Business Central on premise subscription vs Business Central Cloud
If BC on-prem subscription provides dual use rights, why would customer buy BC cloud when they can abuy BC on prem subscription for less and use it for cloud? Or am I missing something.

- Only the CSP cloud BC subscription licenses provide dual use rights.
On-prem subscription for BC does not provide the cloud use rights.
Customers may take advantage of the Bridge to Cloud 2 promotion to move to the cloud with 3-year discounted cloud subscription licenses, which provides dual use rights to continue using on-prem whilst transitioning to cloud. Hi MLollen
Thank you for posting to the community!
I'm sure that you have the information on migrating to the cloud as well as other resources on BC OnPrem so I won't flood this post with a lot of links.
Other Partners may reply to your post and offer their opinion, but I found two articles that you might find interesting, each provide a brief comparison and benefit of moving to BC cloud:
- Business Central Cloud or On-Prem, which is better for your business? - MCS (mentorconsultingservices.com)
- Cloud vs. On-Premises: D365 Business Central Comparison (intwo.cloud)

- Both the articles only talk about cloud vs perpetual. What I am looking for specifically is BC cloud vs on prem subscription model.
Partners who're using or who have used each product may have the insight that you're looking for based on their experiences.
In the meantime, may I ask what specific licensing questions do you have?
