Subscription pricing for NAV licenses is $65/user/month (USD or CAD). You may also need hosting. We offer NAV hosting at $1,650/month for 14 or fewer users and $2,000/month for 15+ users.

It’s also possible to buy perpetual NAV licenses — $5,000 USD ($6,167 CAD) for 3 users.

Note that NAV licenses cannot be purchased for new implementations. But existing NAV customers can still buy licenses. Many NAV customers are transitioning to the successor to NAV: Dynamics 365 Business Central. Encore supports customers on NAV, including those ready to move to Business Central.

Dynamics AX Pricing

Dynamics AX licenses are around $4,500 for 1 perpetual license (same price CAD or USD). Exact price will depend on your version of the software and license. Speak to a Dynamics Partner for advice and assistance.

Customers cannot buy AX licenses for new implementations. However, existing customers can still buy more licenses.

Many companies currently using Dynamics AX are considering a transition to Finance & Operations, which is effectively the next version of AX. Encore supports customers on AX, and also offers upgrade services for moving from AX to Finance & Operations.

There is a 40% license pricing discount available for most companies moving from AX to F&O. Contact Encore for details of how the offer may apply to you.

Dynamics ERP Implementation Costs

The cost of Dynamics ERP implementation ranges from around $16,000 to $1,000,000+. The price depends mainly on the following:

  • Your company size
  • The specific software that is best for you
  • The amount of customization
  • The quality of the professional services your partner provides

Conclusion

There are three main costs that you will incur for a modern Microsoft Dynamics ERP:

  1. Licencing costs, depending on the solution, number of users, license type, and promotional pricing.
  2. Professional services for implementation or upgrade, which can vary from tens of thousands to millions of dollars (depending on the complexity of your business and the project)
  3. Support after go-live, which Encore offers through our Encore Care support program.
