Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide

There’s an updated (June 2025) Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide with a few changes of note.

Firstly, there are further refinements to the tables of security roles and a “menu item” – the thing you give access to via a security role – is renamed to a “securable object”.

Secondly, there are some edits to the requirements for licensing external users which aligns with the Product Terms. Note that the tables and footnotes on pages 43 and 44 haven’t really survived the editing of the last three months and now take a bit of effort to work through the errors and make sense of them.

Finally, there’s a new section for “Coplot Studio Offers in Paid Public Preview” which is light on detail but refers you to the new Copilot Studio Licensing Guide which gives a smidgen more information.

Copilot Studio Licensing Guide

There’s a brand new (June 2025) Copilot Studio Licensing Guide from Microsoft. All the Copilot Studio information has been taken out of the Power Platform Licensing Guide and put into this new guide with additional sections giving detail on Orchestration Mode, Agent Flow Actions, Copilot Studio Agents in Paid Public Preview, and how to forecast your Agent’s message volume.

Microsoft 365 plan comparison documents

There are updated (June 2025) Microsoft 365 plan comparison documents with some small changes getting everything up to date: adding in a row for Microsoft Security Exposure Management, for example.

These useful documents tell you which of the (many) different components are included in which Office 365/Microsoft 365 plan, and there’s a table for SMB customers (https://bit.ly/43CpQQk), one for Enterprise customers (https://bit.ly/45Cb4M4), and one for Education customers (https://bit.ly/4jxBG4j), and still more for specialist US customers – one for GCC (https://bit.ly/3FEFUcq), one for GCC High (https://bit.ly/3ZH8yAn) and the final one for DoD (https://bit.ly/4kHl3EV).
