Dynamics 365 Licensing Model

Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement is made up of role-based apps that cover specific business processes:

  • Dynamics 365 for Sales
  • Dynamics 365 for Customer Service
  • Dynamics 365 for Field Service
  • Dynamics 365 for Project Service
  • Dynamics 365 for Marketing 

Dynamics 365 CE License Types 

Mix and match Dynamics 365 user licenses by individual apps, or by a plan that covers all Customer Engagement apps.  

  • By App – License individual users by a single application defined by their role e.g. Customer Service or Sales. For Sales and Customer Service apps, choose between Enterprise or SMB (Professional) capabilities to only pay for what you need.
  • Licence by Plan – Utilise functions across all Customer Engagement apps to fit specific user roles for greater flexibility

Team Member Licensing 

A third licence type is the Team Member Licence, which meets the needs for employees that only have light usage requirements. This licence will enable them to read any data, access dashboards and perform basic functions such as updating contact records or scheduling activities.
