Dynamics 365 licensing resources – September 2026

The Dynamics 365 licensing resources have been updated a couple of times for September 2026.

The main change this month is support for headless commerce, so that customers can run custom storefronts for their specific business requirements while still using Dynamics 365 Commerce for pricing, promotions, inventory, orders fulfilment etc. There are two new Add-on licences: Headless Import for importing completed retail transactions captured outside Dynamics 365 Commerce, and Headless Orchestration for capturing third-party retail transactions using Dynamics 365 Commerce APIs.

You’ll find details of both options throughout the Licensing Guide and Licensing Deck. Get full details of the changes using the one-click “Dynamics 365” filter in our subscriber-exclusive Licensing Guides Gallery: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery. You’ll also find details of all the changes to be aware (and wary) of through our “What’s New” and “Cautionary Notes” features.
