Power Platform licensing resources – July 2026

The Power Platform licensing resources are updated for July 2026.

Both the Licensing Guide and the Licensing Deck are adjusted to show Pay-As-You-Go as the preferred purchasing method for Copilot Credits, followed by the Copilot Credits Pre-Purchase Plan, the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan, and finally the Copilot Credits Capacity Pack. The Licensing Deck also contains new text explaining that use of Work IQ APIs by Copilot Studio Agents is not included in a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and will consume Copilot Credits. Finally, there’s a link to the (exciting!) brand-new Copilot Credits Guide in the resources section.

The one-click “Power Platform” filter in our subscriber-exclusive Licensing Guides Gallery gives you quick access to every version of the licensing resources: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery. You’ll also find details of all the changes to be aware (and wary) of with our “What’s New” and “Cautionary Notes” labels. If you’re not yet a subscriber, grab a copy of the Licensing Guide here: https://bit.ly/4arONT6, and the Licensing Deck here: https://bit.ly/4y0Z5DI.

Agent Cost Management Whitepaper

There’s an updated (February 2026) Agent Cost Management Whitepaper – a useful document helping you to understand some of the key topics in getting started with Agents. There’s some good information on the different ways to buy and set up Copilot Credits, as well as help on monitoring costs and applying cost controls. This latest version is updated with the Copilot Credits Pre-Purchase Plan, including instructions on how to set this up and how it can be combined with other ways of purchasing Copilot Credits.

There’s also improved information on setting up who can create and use Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. Find this updated guide here: https://bit.ly/4rJ0LOd.
