Power Platform / Dynamics 365 Licensing
MartijnElfers Thanks for your input Martijn.
We've had a conversation with as Microsoft employee who has tried to convince us that we need D365 Sales licenses because we had Lead in our Model Driven app, which doesn't tie up with anything in the Microsoft licensing documentation.

Simon_Tooley_T4A Not the first time a Microsoft employee would share incorrect licensing information 
But does make it difficult who to trust.
While I'm not a Microsoft employee, I am 100% sure that Lead is not a restricted table, thus am also 99% sure users don't need a D365 Sales license to work on that table.
- The Microsoft page on Create or Edit leads (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/sales/create-edit-lead-sales) dated 6th September 2023 indicates that a Dynamics 365 Sales license is required.
This article is dated later than the restricted tables and obviously contradicts it.
Microsoft really need to get their licensing clear.
Regards,
SimonSimon_Tooley_T4A Microsoft Learn page also mentions that regarding Accounts/Contacts tables: Manage your accounts and contacts | Microsoft Learn, or basically any core D365 table.
But that does not mean that D365 Sales license is the only license that can be used for CRUD actions.
Yes, you need a Sales license to get these core tables active. But other licenses also have rights to perform CRUD actions to these tables as well. This is where licensing rules come to play 🙂
