D365 SCM/Finance - multiple companies in one tenant

Dear community

We are facing a situation where different separate legal entities operate in one D365 Finance instance. All companies are in control of the same owner - so I believe technically this is possible to consolidate the installations.

Question: how is the licensing (CSP/NCE) being done properly? I assume, it is done in main-company (Company A) tenant where the LCS project belongs to) and the subscriptions are being assigned to guest users (Users of Company B/C as external guests of Company A). 

Is this correct? I did not find any information about this in the Licensing Guide unfortunately.

Thanks for your help

Daniel

    Hi axperience_gra

     

    You can review Microsoft's definition of external users on pg.41of the current D365 LG to ensure compliance:

     

    If the users do not meet this definition and they're accessing D365 Finance, then that would require that you purchase an applicable D365 Finance, Team Members, etc. license for them to avoid multiplexing, which is also defined in the D365 LG on pg. 42. 

     

     

    Hope this helps:smile:

      Dear Licensing Concierge
      I know we will have to buy licenses - the only question is, how this is being done properly (from which customer‘s tenant?)

        Answer: On the same tenant that the users are accessing D365.

         

        Guidance:  Per pg.46 of the D365 LG that I referenced in my reply above. Here is a snapshot of pg.46 for your convenience:

         

        License options: choose between the D365 Finance, Operations – Activity or Team Members user license based on your needs.

         

        Hope this helps! :smile:
