Price increase D365, impact on Base/Attach model?
Hi all, Microsoft announced a general price increase of D365 licenses, with a increase of 10-15% for certain suites. See following blog:New pricing for Microsoft Dynamics 365 effective October 2024 - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Blog. I wonder how this price increase will affect the Base/Attach model and combinations you can make. Eg. the D365 Sales Enterprise license with increase from $95 --> $105. While the D365 BC Premium will remain on $100 (no increase for BC). This means, Sales Enterprise will be more expensive than BC Premium. Currently we can attach Sales Enterprise on a BC Premium license: General rule of thumb is that the Base license must be the highest priced license, and Attach licenses should be the cheaper licenses. But with this price change this will be turned around between Sales/BC. So how will this price increase impact the Base/Attach model for such cases and existing customers? Cheers, Martijn
Dyn365 Supply Chain Management Vendor Collaboration Portal License
Hello, In the past all the external vendor to access Dyn365 F&O Vendor Collaboration portal does not require any license. May I know if the statement still valid? Recently, we found all these external vendors require Team Members license. I am wondering when this change in licensing. Thanks.
Business Central Device license
I thought customers must have at least one Essentials or Premium SAL when purchasing Device license, but I can't find any description of this prerequisite in the license guide nor license term. To purchase a Team Member license, customers must haveDynamics 365 user SLs other than the Team Members SL according to the license term according to the license term. https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/en-us/productoffering/MicrosoftDynamics365Services/MCA#Addons Is this not same for Device license or are customers allowed to purchase Device license only without other user licenses? If customers are required to have other user licenses to purchase one Device license, can we apply a 30day-trial license (Business Central Premium) for the initial month?Achieving D365 Specialization Sales - MS keeps partners in the dark wrt retiring certifications
If you are a partner and hold or want to achieve the D365 BizApps Sales Specialization, you are soon in troubled waters. With required certifications retiring, we partners need to plan to replace our 15 Sales/Customer Insights certifications with new ones. However, Microsoft has not informed us which certifications will replace the current ones for Sales Specialization! We are just weeks away from the retiring deadline (Nov 2024)! This is what we face as partners: Total number of staff with a Sales and Cust Insights certs will decrease from a partner's list of skilled people (for Sales Specialization) from Jan 2025. From Nov 2025 you must have replaced these 15 certifications why "some other certifications". MS announced in May 2024 the retiring of these certs. Now, 6 months later, still no plan (and MB-280 in beta!) In other words: Once MS has announced which new certifications will replace Sales/Customer Insights, we partners must get 15 of our team members certified ASAP (with the new eligible certs). This is a BIG ask, surely for small partner teams, and surely an impact on productivity! And no: For most partners aiming for Sales Specialization, it makes no sense to invest into certifications which retire soon. Just saying, as I saw posts recommending getting certified for MB-210/220 now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The current certification requirements for D365 Sales Specialization are: Fifteen (15) individuals must earn at least one of the following intermediate certifications (And minimum of 3 individuals required in each certification): - and these all retired in Nov 2024! Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Sales Functional Consultant Associate Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Customer Insights (Journeys) Functional Consultant Associate Do you realize that ALL these certifications will expire soon!? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Help getting Pre-Sale Materials for Dynamics 365 Human Resources?

Power Automate Licensing
Hi, I'm trying to understand the licensing around Power Automate.. the documentation is somewhat confusing so I can't figure it out exactly. So let's say someone built a cloud flow with a Premium connector therefore took out a Premium license all sorted on that.... could the owner then share that flow with run-only privileges to other users and they are able to run it too, (even if they didn't have a license assigned?).... Would it just run on the primary owners license? OR would they be required to have a Power Automate Premium license too? And for the Process license, the flow is licensed, so everyone can use without have a premium licensed assigned to each user? Please can someone let me know if I’m correct in my thinking or at least clarify :). Thanks so muchBring Back AI Builder Calculator
Hello, This is my campaign to bring back the AI Builder Calculator. Since Ignite, the AI Builder calculator athttps://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder-calculator/ simply redirects tohttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps. I feel like this is a misstep. AI Builder looks to be a huge part of Power Automate and Copilot Studio and not giving users a mostly user-friendly way to go about calculating the # of AI Builder credits they will use doesn't seem like the right business decision. As of today, you'd have to know that the rate card is in the Power Platform licensing guide, know how many AI Builder credits you get in a bundle and do the math yourself. The AI Builder calculator did that for you and was an integral part of Microsoft's websites for years. Perhaps another reason this is nonsensical is that AI Builder has much more to do with Power Automate than it does Power Apps, so if you were going to redirect the site, why have it redirect to Power Apps. Please resurrect the AI Builder calculator for the good of the community. -Blake
