There’s an updated (July 2024) Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide. There’s been some reworking of the initial sections, and the order of the products is now (more or less) alphabetical. There’s a newly-formatted Base and Attach licences table on page 4 which now includes prices, and the brand-new Customer Service Premium and Dynamics 365 Contact Center licences are added throughout.

See our blog for details of those new licences: https://bit.ly/4cNzi6m, and grab this updated guide here: https://bit.ly/3L69PJA.

Dynamics 365 Marketing and Customer Insights changes

Microsoft announce that from 1 September, 2023 Dynamics 365 Marketing and Customer Insights will be sold together as a single product called Customer Insights. The original products retain their existing functionality but are renamed Customer Insights – Journeys and Customer Insights – Data respectively. There’s no change for existing customers and they can choose to renew their separate licences until 31 August, 2024.

New customers will be able to choose an Attach licence at $1,000 per month if they have qualifying Dynamics licences, or a standalone licence costing $1,700 per month if they don’t. Both Customer Insights licences include capacity for 10,000 Interacted People (the new Marketing Contacts) and 100,000 Unified People (the new Customer Insights Profiles), with additional capacity packs for both Interacted People and Unified People being available in three tiers of pricing.
