Dynamics 365 Licensing
Considerations:
Users only have access to the functionality of the applications they have the license for and will not be able to access functionality in additional apps.
Application licenses are considered “Full Use” and comes with embedded business intelligence, workflows and application extensibility, specific to the licensed app.
Plan-based licensing provides users with full usage rights to PowerApps and Microsoft Flow to compose new apps and easily extend and modify existing ones.
Plan based licensing improves ROI as companies pay once for access to the capability they need regardless of which application it resides in. This is unique as other Enterprise cloud applications require customers to buy licenses for multiple different apps – resulting in 2-3x increased cost.
*Power Apps extensibility is limited to the apps covered under Plan 1, meaning users will only be able to create custom business applications that span the apps covered under Plan 1.
