Guidance on licensing requirements for using managed environments
Is it sufficient to have a per-app premium licence assigned when using a managed environment or is a per-user premium licence required? I have read this guidance from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/managed-environment-licensing "Every user running an app in a managed environment must have one of the following licenses: a Power Apps Premium, a Power Automate Premium license, or a Dynamics 365 Enterprise license that gives premium Power Apps usage rights *. If you use capacity-based licenses, a managed environment must have Power Apps per app plans such as app passes allocated to it. Use of Power Apps capabilities included with Dynamics 365 Pro licenses must be only within the context of the licensed Dynamics 365 application." Does the line that I have highlighted in red mean that you can in fact use per-app licences? or is this referring to something else? Thanks Rosie
Cannot sync Country when connecting greenfields D365 BC <-> Dataverse (and onto D365 Sales)
Hey, sorry for the very newbie question, but everyone has to start somewhere! I get this cryptic incantation when trying to connect an essentially greenfields D365 BC (a small bit of progress through assisted setup) and a similarly vanilla D365 Sales instance, using the very latest updates on 2025 wave 2 (like I've applied this weeks coming update and any and all of the background app updates etc afaik is totally up-to-date at 28 Sep 2025 - maybe this is new and because we're living bleeding edge, may possibly be a heads up for someone out there, I really dont know.

I asked CoPilot, ChatGPT et al and poked around without coming up with anything, didnt pass the google test, thought maybe an MS Call, but we try not to take the mickey and at least try firstPartner Opportunity to Influence the ISV Copilot Tooling Roadmap.

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 muchBusiness Applications Partner News: Week of June 24

Dynamics 365: User licensing for users without CRM access
Hello, am I allowed to have activated users in D365 that do not have a valid license? The users do not have CRM access, do not work in CRM and only serve as record owners. I could not find anything useful in the license model. The option of creating users as contacts and using them is out of the question, as we really want to license the users in the further course of the project and use them as record owners.
