There’s an updated (July 2019) Dynamics 365 Business Central Licensing Guide. The major change is the addition of a new Device Subscription Licence which allows any number of users to use Business Central via a licensed device. It’s important to note that the Device SL gives access to a subset of Business Central capabilities which are detailed on page 8.

There’s an updated (June 2019) Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide. Perhaps the most interesting information is on page 2 where we get some details on upcoming releases (Customer Service Chat, Forms Pro, and Call Intelligence), a name change (AI for Sales becomes Sales Insight), and a new segment (DoD).
