Pricing update for Monthly Billing/Annual Term subscriptions - Dynamics 365 tenant-level SKUs

Hello, I have a question regarding in-scope SKUs of the new pricing update that takes effect 4/1/2025 for monthly billing/annual term subscriptions. (Specifically, Dynamics 365 SKUs in the CSP NCE pricelist)

In the announcements and FAQs, in some parts the term "user license" is used, and in others it seems to apply to all SKUs with an annual term/monthly billing option.

Would you be able to tell me if the 5% increase applies to the former or latter? 

Thank you in advance.

    I believe it'll apply to all licenses. Microsoft uses the term user-license to differentiate from Azure consumption. But the price increase would also impact tenant-level licenses, like Copilot Studio or Sandbox Environments. 

     

    We'll know when the preview pricelist has been published.

      Thank you for the reply.

      If it applies to tenant-level licenses as well, then customers with Sandbox Environments who want to keep the annual pricing will have a huge upfront outlay. Otherwise they have no choice but to pay the extra 5% price increase.  I guess we will see in March.

      Thank you again.
