Dynamics 365 Licensing: Get Clarity Before Your Renewal

Our licensing review shows you where your current licences fit, where they don’t, and what’s worth changing before your renewal date – so you don’t end up paying for licences nobody uses or being surprised by Microsoft changes.

Why Dynamics 365 Licensing Needs Reviewing

  • Licences assigned to people who left. Teams change, but your agreement hasn’t.
  • Users on the wrong licence. Are you paying for capabilities many never need?
  • Unbudgeted price changes. Licence price movements risk making next year’s bill higher than expected.
  • User rights change. Microsoft updates what licences permit, risking overpayment or non-compliance.
  • Auto-renewal unless you act. Contracts renew on the same terms unless prior changes are made.

How Does Dynamics 365 Licensing Work?

Dynamics 365 uses a role-based licensing model for individual apps aligned with standard business processes. For most licences, you can pay per user/month/application, which provides the flexibility to scale up and down your business operations. Reduced rates are available with 36-month agreements.

Dynamics starts with a base app for each user. Additional apps can be attached at a discounted rate for users who require broader functionality beyond the base. For example, D365 Sales can be purchased as a base app, and D365 Customer Service attached, enabling a user to manage opportunities and cases.

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys is an exception with per-tenant licensing.

Dynamics 365 Licensing FAQs

Can I buy an annual Dynamics 365 subscription?

Microsoft’s licensing model allows organisations to gain pricing certainty by locking in licence prices for 12 and 36 months. Additional licences can be added at any time, but licence numbers can only be reduced or cancelled upon the expiry of these terms.

A monthly subscription offers the flexibility to reduce licences any month at a 20% price premium. This allows for monthly seat reductions and the cancellation of licences any month without further financial commitment.

Licences can be mixed and matched to match demand so you can have a combination of licences on monthly, 12-month and 36-month terms.

How much cloud storage is included?

Your Dynamics 365 data is stored in Microsoft Dataverse, which provides the following default capacities, which were increased in December 2025:

Dataverse for Apps Database: 30 GB (Transactional database storage for entity definitions and record data)

Dataverse for Apps File: 40 GB (Storing attachments on emails and notes in Dynamics 365 apps, including PDFs, documents and images)

Dataverse for Apps Log: 2 GB (Audit logs tracking records and attribute data changes)

Each Enterprise and Premium licence accrues additional storage entitlement.

How do D365 Sales Pro and Enterprise licences compare?

Both licenses allow sellers to create and manage Leads, Opportunities, Accounts, Contacts, Activities, Campaigns, Marketing Lists, Products, Price Lists, Quotes, Orders, and Dashboards. Both licenses also offer basic case creation capabilities and will enable you to connect Dynamics 365 with Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Excel, and Power BI.

Sales Enterprise users can work across unlimited custom tables (entities). Sales Professional is limited to 15 custom tables that can be created and modified in a Dynamics environment.

Some Microsoft Copilot capabilities are included with Sales Enterprise at no additional cost. The full range of Copilot features is available by purchasing Copilot for Sales, which combines Copilot for Microsoft 365 with seller workflows in Dynamics 365. Sales Pro does not include Copilot features.

Sales Hub functions and services unavailable to Sales Pro users include sales goals, territory management, forecasting, product families, knowledge base, embedded intelligence and business units.

Sales Professional licences receive the same default cloud storage entitlements as Sales Enterprise, but Pro licences do not accrue additional storage capacity. Also, Sales Professional does not include entitlement for Customer Voice surveys. Sales Enterprise has a default capacity for up to 2000 survey responses per tenant/month.

How do D365 Customer Service licences compare?

Both licence types allow users to create and manage cases, contracts, entitlements, service level agreements, contacts, accounts and lead records in Dynamics 365.

D365 Customer Service Pro is for people who don’t need the full capacity of Customer Service Enterprise. The Professional licence is restricted to a maximum of 15 custom tables. Customer Service Enterprise provides unrestricted use.

Further caps for the Professional licence include:

  • Dashboards – limited to a maximum of 5 per table
  • Personal Forms and Views – maximum of 2 per table
  • Customise Business Processes – up to 5 per table
  • Queues – up to a maximum of 15

The following entitlements are unavailable with a Professional licence: D365 Customer Voice survey response capacity, embedded intelligence (including Copilot), running Power Apps in the same environment, configuring and viewing the schedule board and accruing additional cloud storage per user.
