Dataverse capacity

Overview

Dataverse is where you securely store and manage data that’s used by the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform products, and by Copilot Studio. When you purchase the first Dynamics 365 Field Service license you receive default Dataverse capacity entitlements for the tenant, and then you accrue further capacity with every additional license that you purchase. You can find a useful table in the Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide which details all these allowances – search for “Default subscription capacity included per tenant”.

Default capacity entitlements

A Dynamics 365 Field Service license includes these default capacity entitlements:

• 30 GB Dataverse Database capacity
• 40 GB Dataverse File capacity
• 2 GB Dataverse Log capacity

Dynamics 365 Field Service Contractor licenses do not include any default capacity entitlements.

Accrued capacity entitlements

When you purchase further licenses to support a Field Service deployment, you receive additional capacity entitlements.

Each Dynamics 365 Field Service license accrues these capacity entitlements:

• 250 MB Dataverse Database capacity
• 2 GB Dataverse/Operations File capacity

Dynamics 365 Field Service Contractor licenses do not accrue additional capacity.

Further capacity

Customers requiring further Dataverse capacity can purchase Dataverse Database, File and Log Capacity Add-ons in increments of 1 GB. In July 2024 a Tier 2 SKU was added for Dataverse Database capacity, where customers can buy a minimum of 1,000 units of 1 GB capacity for a more cost-effective unit price. You’ll find purchasing minimums in the Product Terms.

History

In December 2025, Microsoft increased the default Dataverse Database capacity for Dynamics 365 Field Service licenses from 10 GB to 30 GB, and the default Dataverse File capacity from 20 GB to 40 GB.
