Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Dynamics AX Licensing

From on-premise Microsoft Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Finance and 365 Supply Chain, Microsoft Dynamics licensing has changed significantly.

 

With Dynamics 365 the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) apps and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) apps are redesigned into new purpose-built applications. The redesign has added tons of high value features and moved application users between the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps. This new Dynamics 365 app architecture could move some of your existing Dynamics AX users into Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM apps as part of the Dynamics 365 migration project. Dynamics 365 therefore changes how to license your users, the licensing costs users and licensing pricing drives application design decisions for existing Microsoft Dynamics AX users migrating to Dynamics 365. 

 

Do you understand the Microsoft licensing rules and how your new Microsoft Dynamics 365 solution will be licensed once you are in the Microsoft Cloud? Do you know how your Dynamics AX upgrade impacts your existing Microsoft license, what to do with your Dynamics AX renewal and the Microsoft Dynamics 365 license costs per user?
