Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide

There’s an updated (July 2019) Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide with two main changes. Firstly, the addition of the Customer Service Chat Add-on – a User SL which is added on to the Customer Service Enterprise User SL to help agents engage in real-time with customers to resolve issues faster. And secondly, the addition of Forms Pro – a product that enables organisations to collect feedback from customers and employees and to gain actionable insights from the results. It’s licensed per tenant and many Dynamics 365 licences include 2,000 survey responses per month. Check out our blog post for the full Forms Pro licensing story: http://bit.ly/2Sgaqwb.

Forms Pro Generally Available

Microsoft announce the General Availability of Forms Pro from 1st July 2019, a product that enables organisations to collect feedback from customers and employees and to gain actionable insights from the results. Find the announcement here: http://bit.ly/2xDCgsR.

From a licensing perspective, Forms Pro with 2,000 survey responses per tenant per month is included for Dynamics 365 customers with the following licences:

  • Dynamics 365 Plan
  • Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Plan
  • Dynamics 365 Unified Operations Plan
  • Dynamics 365 for Sales Enterprise
  • Dynamics 365 for Customer Server Enterprise
  • Dynamics 365 for Field Service
  • Dynamics 365 for Marketing
  • Dynamics 365 for Talent
  • Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation

Additionally, there’s a pack of 2,000 survey responses available to purchase for $100 per tenant per month. This is suitable for the above customers who want to add extra survey responses, or for other Dynamics 365 customers who don’t have any of these qualifying licences, or for Office 365 customers who want to upgrade from the included not-as-full-featured Office 365 Forms product.

And finally, with the release of Forms Pro, Microsoft announce the deprecation of the Voice of the Customer product. Existing customers will be able to create new surveys up until 1st July 2020, and after that survey data will be available and stored in Dynamics 365.

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).

These changes are all expected in July or August. There are also amendments for default capacities throughout, the most important one being confirmation that Sales/Customer Service Professional licences do not count towards the 10 licence minimum for the Dynamics 365 Portal.
