Starting October 2019, Microsoft will offer organizations a new way of licensing the suite of Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications and D365 Unified Operations. With the new Microsoft D365 licensing model your organization can piece together your Dynamics 365 subscription in a flexible way with the introduction of Base Licenses for Dynamics 365. Business users with broader application needs can extend their application use by adding Attach applications to their D365 Unified Operations Base License.
The new Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations licensing subscription terminology consists of the following main D365 user types:
Based on your user needs you can choose from four Dynamics 365 Base Licenses as the foundation for your Microsoft Dynamics 365 license subscription:
If you are already familiar with the current Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations application licensing, you can see that the four Base Licenses above means that the current 365 Finance and Operations application is hereby split into:
Going back to the new Attach Licenses model (365 Attach Licenses), once you have established the Base Licenses needs for your users, you can offer subsets of your users additional applications by “attaching” one or more Dynamics 365 Attach License to the Base License. For example, let’s say you have 30 accounting users requiring the Finance 365 Base License as their foundation. Among your 30 accounting team users you may have application residing in one of the 365 Base licenses. Let’s say that 10 of the 30 named accounting users also have a need for features residing in the Supply Chain Management application, then you Attach 10 Supply Chain Management subscriptions.
The following 3 Unified Operations Base Licenses can also be considered an Microsoft Dynamics 365 Attach Licenses.
In new Microsoft Dynamics 365 licensing model renewing Microsoft customers will be able to purchase individual applications as Base and Attach licenses.
The Base license is the first application purchased for an individual user within a customer’s organization. The Attach licenses are additional applications that may be purchased after the Base license is acquired
