There will be some
changes to Dynamics 365 licensing from October 2019, which Microsoft covered in
a couple of sessions at the Inspire partner conference. Let’s look at the most
significant of these changes.
Firstly, the
Finance and Operations module will be split into two modules: Finance, and
Supply Chain Management. Secondly, all the current Plans (Unified Operations,
Customer Engagement, and Dynamics 365) will be removed. This means that
customers will buy licences for just the apps that they need. If a user does
need to be licensed for multiple apps then they will buy a Base licence for the
first app and an Attach licence for the second one. There’s no difference in
the functionality but the Attach licences will be significantly cheaper.
