Power Pages Licensing Question
To confirm, you're asking if a licensed D365 Enterprise user has use rights to Power Pages Anonymous users & Power Pages Authenticated users?
If so, it depends on whether the Authentic users are internal or external. The Partner should review the definition of authentic & anonymous users, then reconcile with the licensing documentation. Ex: a D365 Enterprise license is sufficient for internal Authentic users.
See the following chart for a detailed breakdown:

- I know for D365 Professional (that does not include "standalone Power Apps portal use rights") it is required to purchase external users. The question is whether the "standalone Power Apps portals use rights" included in D365 Enterprise extends to external users or if it is required to purchase anonymous or authenticated users for external users? If it is required to purchase anonymous or authenticated users for external users, has it been that way for the last several years or is that a relatively new change?
hmmm...I did not mention D365 Professional.
Please review my previous reply to learn which Power Apps use rights are included with D365 Enterprise.

- Hello,
I did some additional research and was able to find out part of the answer to my question. Prior to 2020, the Portal was included if you purchased 10 licenses of D365 Enterprise and there was no need to purchase additional users. That changed in 2020 to the current model that has a monthly fee based on the number of users. Existing customers were grandfathered in. We have a client that was grandfathered into the old licensing model. They received a notification for the first time this month that they were over capacity on users for the month of January. This is new and they were never required to purchase user licenses for the portal previously. In December they switched from an annual to a monthly SKU of D365. My new question is, did changing the SKU make it so Microsoft no longer recognizes that they were grandfathered in, or did the grandfathering period end in December 2023? If this is not something you would know, do you have a resource you could direct me to?
Thanks!
