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 muchBusiness Central Tenant Migration During Bridge to Cloud Campaign
Hello, I have a question regarding a customer who is migrating from NAV On-Prem to Business Central Cloud. They are part of a larger corporate group and are likely to undergo a tenant migration. Typically, this wouldn't be an issue, but they are currently in a "Bridge to Cloud" campaign. Is it possible to migrate the tenant while being part of this campaign, or are there any limitations we should be aware of? Thank you in advance for your insights!185Views0likes3CommentsAdding additional Dynamics on-prem licenses via Dual Use Rights - Minimum Purchase
If a customer would like to add additional Dynamics on-prem licenses via NCE and Dual Use Rights, is the minimum purchase according to the product terms still mandatory? Example: A customer has 25 Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Enterprise on-prem users and wants to purchase additional users via Dynamics 365 Finance (Software as a Service) with Dual Use Rights and Downgrade Rights. Must the customer meet the minimum purchase of 20 users also for the additional users?284Views0likes3Comments
