Hi everyone.

I have a doubt about my Business Central Licensing, currently on my company, use about 65 licenses of Bussines Central Essentials but we need some Premium, my question is, ¿can we use both licenses like 50 Business Central Essentials and other 15 Bussines Central Premium licenses and work together?

Thanks.

    Dear Antonio,

    I am sorry, but all the users in the same tenant must have the same license, essentials or Premium, but you can not mix both.

    But... in this blog you can see how to do it: creating two environments:

    Hi, no, you may license users either with an Essentials license or a Premium license, but not both. 

    This is documented in the Dynamics 365 | Licensing Guide.

    If you purchased a Premium license, you can switch it in Company Information.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
