Pricing & Licensing
141 TopicsAnyone have the information on Business Central pricing?
We were expecting to find the new local pricing of D365BC in the CSP preview price list of October, 2025, but there was no BC SKUs in the list. I searched for the information if the price change was postponed or cancelled but can't find any. What I can find is only the blog and the PartnerDeck/FAQ in PartnerHub announced in May, and no news since then. The local CSP support team even did not know about the price change of D365BC. Since we have several customers whose renewals are on October 1, we need to work on quotations asap. This is why, please allow me to submit this post while I am waiting for update from our PDM. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-365/blog/business-leader/2025/05/06/new-microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-pricing-effective-october-2025/Licensing a Dataverse environment for external users
Looking for some advice and opinions please. This is for a standalone Dataverse environment. Not Dynamics 365, or Power Apps, or Power Pages. The question is about using a Dataverse environment with the native Dataverse web APIs, where a portal is developed (not Power Pages) that allows the external users to interface (read/write) data. My opinion is that because this is not Dynamics 365 and Power Pages are not being utilised to facilitate the access then there is no requirement for user (D365, Power App, or Power Pages capacity) licensing. I would still need Dataverse capacity licenses, but that is all. Appreciate any thought and insights. Thanks, NickSome queries on Power Apps licensing
Can anyone help ?me for the following questions about Power Apps? We don't have an appropriate contact of Microsoft for this kind of questions. 1. Is it possible to consolidate users executing Power Apps on each digital signage into a single user? Or is there a limit to the number of concurrent connections? 2. All the users who only refer to digital signage are required to have a license for Dataverse? 3. Is it allowed to share one account between the users who execute Apps? Can users of the app share a single account? 4. Do you know any case studies that using campus apps projected on digital signage?SolvedCopilot inclusion in Partner Launch benefits
Looking at https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/partnership/partner-benefits-packages-benefits#tab-1 it says that Partner Launch benefits include "Microsoft 365 Business Premium - includes Copilot". I took this to mean I didn't need to buy Copilot separately to work in 365 Apps like Word. However, on trying to use it this way, it seems that the Copilot referred to here is just Copilot chat with no integration with Word, SharePoint, etc. which is pretty much available for free anyway. I raised a ticket with Partner Support (2507150010000100) and they said that Copilot functionality within 365 apps is not included. Even Copilot chat itself gives confused answers. When I ask it "Explain the Copilot inclusions (if any) in Microsoft Partner Launch. Does it include Copilot to generate content in Microsoft Word?" It says: Yes, the Microsoft Partner Launch includes Copilot capabilities, and Copilot is available for generating content in Microsoft Word. Here’s a breakdown of the key inclusions: ✅ Copilot in Microsoft Word Microsoft Copilot is now integrated into Word for both consumer and commercial users. It can: Generate polished documents from prompts (e.g., recipes, reports, letters). Assist with rewriting, summarizing, and formatting. Help brainstorm and structure content based on user input I suggest that Microsoft clarifies what "Microsoft 365 ... includes Copilot" means on pages like the linked one above to avoid others being confused like me (and Copilot chat!) Thanks, ClancyRenewal for a discontinued product
Dear community, We are a Distributor (ex. Indirect Provider) and we are having few customers with renewals on discontinued products. In detail, one of these products is POWERPLATFORM - Power Apps per app plan (SKU: CFQ7TTC0LHQM:0001), where the partners have autorenew enabled. So we want to be 100% sure that these partners that are having autorenew enabled will be able to renew their subscription without issues. Thank you in advance!

Hello, Thank you for the opportunity to write about this. We have a request where a customer would like to implement Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations on a multi-tenant basis. However, there are now the challenges that the customer wants to map several holdings of his company network in his productive environments. Is this a license violation if the customer includes company holdings from his company network, as shown in the diagram? In my opinion, it is clear from the MCA that the customer cannot license company A in his tenant under CSP in the case of minority shareholdings. Is this correct? AS employees of companies B and C provide services for company A, the customer would like a one- tenant solution Is it possible to reach an agreement with Microsoft for this company construct without concluding an EA? Thank you!Downgrade license for business central 21
We have a client who requires our vertical developed in C/AL code. We are currently in the process of migrating our development. However, we need to be able to downgrade from version 25 of the software our client has purchased to version 21 of Business Central on-premises in order to obtain the .flf license. We understand that the updated licensing policies only allow downgrading from two previous versions, but the flf licenses have been retired, and the latest version that contains them is 21. What can we do in this case to authorize a downgrade? As an additional note, our client's license is perpetual.SolvedNo Restricted tables in Dynamics Sales ? and Question for Portal users
