Dynamics 365 Customer Service Licensing Explained

Microsoft lets organisations choose an appropriate Customer Service licence that fits the needs of their business. We recognise this can be confusing, so we will try to break down what you can and can't use with a supported table list at the bottom of the page. 

Customer Service is available as either an Enterprise or Professional user license and with several optional add-ins to deliver the capabilities needed for your situation. Choose user licenses for one or the other; you can only buy both licenses if you deploy them in separate environments. Customer Service Enterprise may also be licensed by device.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service Professional

Customer Service Professional provides basic resources for customer service agents. It also provides a self-service customer portal and access to a knowledge base for end customers. It’s meant for less complex scenarios that need streamlined capabilities to support customers and customer service teams. The pricing for Professional is £37.10 per user per month.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service Enterprise

Customer Service Enterprise licenses expand on the functionality of Customer Service Professional. In particular, the enterprise license grants use rights that give users the ability to schedule and dispatch service, create teams, and manage resources through integration with other Dynamics 365 applications such as Field Service and Project Operations when the organisation also licenses them. When you license Customer Service Enterprise, you automatically become entitled to 2,000 Customer Voice responses/tenant/month, and you can buy additional response packs (in packs of 1,000 responses/tenant/month) as needed. 

The pricing for Customer Service Enterprise is £71.60 per user, per month.

Unified routing provides intelligent and automated routing and assignment capabilities to customer service organisations. This allows organisations to use advanced capabilities such as multi-stage classification rules and automated assignment based on agent availability, capacity, or specialisation. Routing records, excluding Chat and Digital Messaging conversation records, are subject to a licensed capacity. Customer Service Enterprise includes unified routing with 50 record routes per user per month. Customer Service Insights provides integrated analytics and AI capabilities to help you better understand support engagements and emerging trends. It helps to identify opportunities for enhancing your automated support system and track the performance of support options and agents. Topic clustering groups related cases or those with commonalities to help customers or service agents to discover the information they need in the knowledge base. These insights capabilities are included in Customer Service Enterprise license. Other service limits apply.
