How much Dataverse capacity can the Business Central users use by default if they have a Business Central license?
I am looking for the official information about Dataverse capacity for Business Central. I haven't found it yet.

If anyone knows the Dataverse capacity for Business Central license, please give me some advice.

Thank you in advance.

By default, Business Central licenses do not include Dataverse storage capacity. Dataverse capacity is allocated based on Power Platform licenses (like Power Apps or Power Automate), not Business Central licenses. To use Dataverse integration, users need the proper Power Platform licenses, which grant database, file, and log storage. For official info, refer to Microsoft’s

Thank you, Khushbu!

I looked in the Power Platform License guide, and I found the list of licenses.
Business Central Premium license has the Power Platform license to use Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages. But it's limited.
Business Central Team Member license also has the limited Power Platform license. It has limited use of Power Automate.
Business Central Premium License and Team Member License have limited Power Platform license, but Business Central Essential License doesn't have any Power Platform license. That's another question though...

Does this limited Power Platform license have 10 GB for database capacity?

Hi,

By default, you receive 10 GB of storage where the default environment is created. To set up an environment for your organization, you'll need to create a new one and purchase additional storage based on your requirements. You're also correct that some storage are included based on the type of Business Central license, but this is the same for everyone logging into the Power Platform for the first time.

Business Central and Power platform are 2 different licensing.

I have tested it and the result is 0. You need to purchase a license to use it. I don't know if there are any changes now.

Thanks.

Hello,

By default, Business Central customers can use up to 80 GB of Dataverse capacity, plus an additional allowance per licensed Essentials or Premium user. This storage capacity is shared across all environments within a tenant, meaning the total usage must not exceed this limit.
