Unannounced price increase Power Apps Premium?
In the September pricelist, there's a pricing change on the Power Apps Premium licenses, as you can see in screenshot a price increase of +10%. But there has been 0 communication or announcement on this. Documentation on the pricing website, Learn and License Guide still shows the old pricing: Power Apps Licensing and Pricing | Low-Code AI App Builder / https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2085130 / Is the price increase correct? If so, then why was there no communication with regards to it? And if not correct, when is this going to be adjusted and fixed for Power Apps Premium licenses ordered past 1st of September? Cheers, Martijn
Something I learned while building Power Apps
One thing I learned while working on Power Apps is that building the screens is usually the easy part. The challenging part comes when the application starts growing. Initially, a few screens, forms and flows may work perfectly. But once more users, data and business rules are added, things like delegation, performance, permissions and maintainability start becoming important. A few things I try to keep in mind now: Plan the data structure before starting the UI Keep the formulas as simple as possible Avoid unnecessary LookUp/Filter operations Think about delegation when working with large data Reuse components instead of creating everything from scratch Keep business logic in the right place instead of putting everything inside Power Apps I’m still learning with every project, but these small things have made a big difference in the way I approach Power Platform development. For other Power Apps developers, what is one lesson you learned the hard way?
Large Dataverse Database Migration
Hello folks, Hoping someone has come across this challenge before - customer has a 1.5Tb+ prod database that needs to be reduced drastically. Is there a Support request route we can raise to create a DB copy into the customers Azure SQL? this would be the quickest route to get a copy before running bulk deletions. Long Term Retention wont be enough in this case either. Any thoughts welcome. TIAGuidance 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?
