Microsoft announced the end of sales of Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise last year. Business Central Cloud is the only option for new customers after 4/1/2025 (if they wish to purchase Business Central) in most of the countries. But how about China? Does anyone know if Microsoft has a plan to release Business Central Cloud in China? F.Y.I. I have confirmed with the APOC operation team that the existing NAV customers are allowed to transition to Business Central on-premise after 4/1/2025.SolvedPrice 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?

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?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 muchFinance Licensing MOQ
Just need some help got a partner quoting on Finance – minimum order quantity 20 obviously Another partner has advised the customer that they could mix say 11 finance with say 9 project ops. Every time we tried to do this in the past its been a no – it has to be 20 of the same product or has this changed? I believe the other partner is getting confused but just need to double check with you and see if you have any MS info on it? The license guide & product info is not very helpful unfortunatelyBusiness Central Licensing: External Users - Customer Portal
We have a prospect for a Business Central implementation that will need a customer portal. They have a portal on their current platform with a large number of users - around 6,500. The new customer portal will be developed as a custom web application so none of the Business Central clients are being used. All good here...the end customer users qualify as External users from a licensing standpoint. My question/concern...for Business Central SAAS, how are these External users created? On Prem I can create a user with NavUserPassword authentication and mark them as License Type = External, but that's not possible in the cloud. Please don't tell me each of the 6,500 users (and any new users going forward) would need to be created by logging into the admin centre and going through the process to invite an external user, then pulling them into BC. That's just not a feasible option from a logistical standpoint.Solved3.9KViews0likes11CommentsOperations – Order lines licensing - Need support to evaluate
Dear ALL, I am implementing Dynamics 365 Finance Operation (F&O) for Customer. Customer also use Retail and Commerce module. I have 2 scenarios need to ask your support to see if needOperations – Order lines licensing or not. Scenario 1: - Step 1:External application submit Online Order to some Staging tables which are created at Dynamics 365F&O. - Step 2: The Customer Service Support (CS) access Dynamics 365 F&O who have been already assigned some type of Dynamics 365 F&O license, they will review Online Order in Staging tables, they will approve Online Order (in Staging tables) and execute customized function to create Sales Order. - Step 2.1: Batch job function at Dynamics 365 F&O, may automatic approve Online order in Staging tables, because it match some automatic approval rule, and automaticexecute customized function to create Sales Order. => With my understanding, I think: - Step 1: don't requireOperations – Order lines licensing, because Staging table is not listed in operations table - order line. - Step 2: don't requireOperations – Order lines licensing, because theCustomer Service Support already have user license and direct use Dynamics 365F&O to create Sales Order. - Step 2.1: requireOperations – Order lines licensing, because don't have any licensed User to direct user Dynamics 365 F&O to create Sales order. Question: Is my understanding correct ? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario 2: - Step 1:External application submit Online Order to some Retail Transaction Tables with status suspended, those tables are stored at Cloud scale unit via Store Commerce API (Not submit directly to Dynamics 365F&O) - Step 2: Cashier open Commerce app at POS machine, and recall above suspended Retail Transaction (which was created via Store commerce API), and they do checkout Transaction and collect payment. As you know the back end Dynamics 365 F&O process will create Sales order for posting to deduct inventory and record Revenue. => With my understanding, I think: - Step 1: don't requireOperations – Order lines licensing, because Retail Transaction Table is not listed in operations table - order line. - Step 2: don't requireOperations – Order lines licensing, because theCashier, Commerce App already have user commerce license and direct use Dynamics 365 commerce app to create Retail Transaction. => So, at the end: This scenarios don't requireOperations – Order lines licensing. Question: Is my understanding correct ? Note:I aware that maybe Dynamics 365 F&ODatabase need more capacity to store Online Order, and may need to buy Additional Operations capacity. Thanks for your reading.
