Power Apps Per App User SL returns to CSP

Microsoft announce a clarification to the January discontinuation of the Power Apps Per App User SL. The original announcement confirmed its End of Sale date as 2 January, 2026 – see our blog post here: https://bit.ly/4t4CwdV. This applied to all agreements and Microsoft swiftly removed it from the Licensing Guide and price lists. This update confirms that the change, in fact, does NOT affect CSP, and that it will return to price lists with full availability for new and renewing customers from early April. The Enterprise Agreement and MPSA End of Sale information still stands.

Dynamics 365 FAQs

Microsoft have recently updated their set of Dynamics 365 FAQs. There are new questions about AI capabilities and licensing Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Sales, and Team Members. We now take PDF captures from the FAQs website so we (and you!) can keep on top of the complete history of changes. Subscribers will find this in our Licensing Guides Gallery (https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery) along with the link to the live website.

Azure SRE Agent

Microsoft announce the general availability of the Azure SRE Agent. It’s interesting from a licensing perspective because it’s a pre-built Azure Agent and thus doesn’t consume the same Copilot Credits that Copilot Studio Agents do. Instead, it consumes a new measure – Azure Agent Units or AAUs. This, clearly, is a bit of a headache if you have Agents using different units and that’s where the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan comes in. This is a cost-effective way of purchasing Agent Commit Units which can be consumed by usage of both Copilot Credits and Azure Agent Units.

You can find more information on the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan on our blog here: https://bit.ly/4uILb7v, and the Azure SRE Agent announcement article is here: https://bit.ly/3NHs9h6.

Dynamics 365 Sales Premium Dataverse capacity changes

Microsoft announce new Dataverse capacities for Dynamics 365 Sales Premium, arriving 15 April 2026. There are three changes: default Dataverse Database capacity increases from 30 GB to 45 GB, accrued per-licence Dataverse Database capacity doubles from 250 MB to 500 MB, and the default Dataverse File capacity jumps from 40 GB to 60 GB.

A mid-month update to the Dynamics 365 Licensing Deck and Licensing Guide reflects these changes, albeit not lacking an error or two. You’ll find the full announcement in the Message Center section of the Microsoft 365 Admin Center here: https://bit.ly/4dctc3f.

Grab the updated Licensing Guide here: https://bit.ly/4cYgogG, and Licensing Deck here: https://bit.ly/4lOZTG7. Subscribers can access all versions of these licensing resources and see the changes to be aware (and wary) of, with our What’s New and Cautionary Notes tags in the Licensing Guides Gallery: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery.

Agent 365 GA announcement

Agent 365 – product or licence? Both, of course!  Firstly, it’s a control plane for AI Agents, helping businesses to deploy, organize, and govern AI Agents securely. It gives each AI Agent its own Microsoft Entra Agent ID for identity, lifecycle, and access management, and allows Agents to be observable and managed in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. That’s where it’s currently in preview through the early-access Frontier program and, when you go to try it out, 25 Agent 365 licences are provisioned to your tenant for assignment to Agents. However, at General Availability of Agent 365 on 1 May, 2026 it’s a human user that’s licensed, for $15 per user per month. All Agents acting on behalf of a licensed user are covered, meaning that Agents won’t require their own Agent 365 or Microsoft 365 E7 licence.

Resources-wise, find an overview and interactive demo on the Agent 365 website: https://bit.ly/4rDQQJw, and the announcement here: https://bit.ly/4bLAHge.

Azure Savings Plan for Databases

Microsoft announce a new Azure Savings Plan for Databases. Like its cousin, the Azure Savings Plan for Compute, this is a way of committing to a certain amount of spend every hour which then entitles you to preferential rates on a variety of services. In the case of this new Savings Plan, it’s a whole range of database services of course, and it includes things like Azure SQL Database and Azure Cosmos DB. It’s available to transact through the Azure Management Portal but is currently only available for a 1-year term.

Office Servers FAQs

There’s an updated set of FAQs for Office Servers. With four(!) updates this month, Microsoft seem to be working hard to perfect this document, which focuses on Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and Skype for Business Server. If you’re looking for answers on CALs, Subscription Editions, or cloud-equivalent use rights, it’s a handy five-page overview. Find the latest version here: https://bit.ly/4uoPKUo.

If you’re interested in the changes, all four copies are in our Licensing Guides Gallery for subscribers: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery – just search for “Office Servers FAQs” and click on the “What’s New” icon.

Microsoft Agent Factory

With the announcement of Microsoft 365 E7 there’s renewed focus on the Microsoft Agent Factory – a program designed for customers that want to rapidly scale AI adoption in their organisation. It combines the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan, Forward Deployed Engineers, and tailored role-based AI training.

Partners can find resources here: https://bit.ly/4ljI6GK, and the comprehensive FAQ is definitely worth taking a look at.

Windows Server 2025 Licensing Guide and FAQs

There’s a new Licensing Guide for Windows Server 2025. Microsoft now publish it on a Licensing Guidance website rather than a PDF, so its main changes are shifts in the order and layout throughout to accommodate the new format. The useful FAQs are now separate, slightly confusingly no longer within the same document. There’s an erroneous mention of a rule from 2023 about minimum requirements when licensing by virtual machine, so we’ve added these details to our “Cautionary Notes”.

We want to make every version of these Licensing Guide updates available to everyone, so we’ve captured a PDF of the Licensing Guide and the FAQs. Find them here: https://bit.ly/4kLduxM, and here: https://bit.ly/4bm1a3J.

Subscribers can now view the details of “What’s New” and read the “Cautionary Notes” in our Licensing Guides Gallery: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery.

License Mobility Customer Verification Guide

We’ve uncovered a new License Mobility Customer Verification Guide! Microsoft have updated the guide in March 2026 even though the publication date matches the last one from May 2025. The main changes are condensed instructions for “Where to find the License Verification Form” and a clean-up of references to the VLSC portal in favour of the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. The removal of the instructions has led to a broken reference to step 5 on page 5, and many of the existing Cautionary Notes remain.

Subscribers can find all these details in our Licensing Guides Gallery. Although License Mobility has been somewhat sidelined by the newest kid on the block, the Flexible Virtualisation Benefit, it’s always nice to have the latest guide available.
