Dynamics 365 Pricing and Licensing: 3 Things to Know

Posted November 24, 2016

Dynamics 365 is out! And with a new product comes a new, flexible licensing scheme. Here’s everything you need to know about how Dynamics 365 is priced, and the different ways you can access Dynamics 365.

1. There are 3 Different Ways to Buy Dynamics 365

There are 3 different ways to buy Dynamics 365: In a plan, by individual module, or as a team member.

Dynamics 365 Plans

Dynamics 365 plans allow you access to a bundle of modules.  For one price, you’ll get access to various components of Dynamics 365. The modules included in these plans are pre-set and cannot be customized. Dynamics 365 plans are the best value for full access to Dynamics 365 Modules

Dynamics 365 Modules

If you just want access to one module of Dynamics 365, you can purchase access to that module individually. As soon as you want access to more than one module, however, it makes sense to purchase a plan.

Dynamics 365 Team Members

Dynamics 365 team members are “light” users of Dynamics 365 modules.  They can analyze data, and do limited tasks such as submitting timesheets, create contacts, approve invoices, etc. If a user accesses Dynamics 365 more than one or two times per week, odds are that they need more than a team member license.
