Blog

In this post we will look at the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central subscription and licensing options across the board. Azzure IT is the leading Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Provider in the U.K.

Dynamics 365 Business Central – User Types

Dynamics Business Central functionality is delivered through the Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials or Premium User. You must license at least one of Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials or Dynamics 365 Business Central Premium users to access the solution. Additional access to the service functionality by other users is licensed with Dynamics 365 Business Central Team Members.

There is no minimum license requirement. However, customers may not mix and match Essentials and Premium users. Customers must license Essentials or Premium users but not both. Also subscriptions are named user subscriptions where a user is licensed for Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials or Dynamics 365 Business Central Premium. These two user subscription types enable access to the application functionality.
