You’ll also find a link to the Licensing Guidance website version, helping you keep up to date with all resource types in one place.

Sharing Power Automate Process licence capacity

Microsoft announce that from 21 April, 2026 you’ll be able to create a flow group with up to 25 cloud flows that can be licensed with a single Power Automate Process licence, rather than needing one licence for each cloud flow. Clearly this sounds like a wonderful way to save money on licences, but bear in mind that the daily action entitlement for that Power Automate Process licence (250,000 actions) will be shared across all the cloud flows in the flow group.

Dragon Copilot changes

Microsoft announce two changes for Dragon Copilot. Firstly, the brand new (February 2026) Dragon Copilot Physician Practice licence will be End of Sale from 1 May, 2026; check out our blog if you blinked and missed that licence: https://bit.ly/48bhCl. Secondly, from 1 May, 2026 there’s a price reduction for the regular Dragon Copilot User SL.

Software Subscriptions and License Mobility

Microsoft announce that CSP Software Subscription benefits are fully equivalent to Software Assurance from 1 April, 2026.


License Mobility (through Software Assurance) allows the use of eligible licences in Azure or on an Authorized Mobility Partner’s shared hardware and has long differentiated the two purchasing options. The change expands this outsourcing option to SQL Server, and the External Connectors for Windows Server and RDS. Of particular interest, Listed Providers Amazon, Google, and Alibaba are currently signed up as Authorized Mobility Partners.

Although System Center Server is also available as a Software Subscription, it’s somewhat neglected in the announcement, even though its Software Assurance counterpart has always been eligible for License Mobility.

Microsoft provide us with a range of resources to supplement the news.

Software Assurance resources

We’ve uncovered some useful and updated Software Assurance resources.

The Program Guide update includes typo and formatting corrections, while cleaning up (some!) references to the obsolete Windows To Go benefit. However, many of the previous Cautionary Notes are still lurking. The FAQs document features general Software Assurance questions and more specific benefits like the Workplace Discount Program and Flexible Virtualization Benefit.

Exclusively for subscribers, our Licensing Guides Gallery (https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery) outlines all details of the changes to be aware (and wary) of.

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.
