(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14,380 Super User 2025 Season 2

Quick question about Multiple Production Environment. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2019wave2/dynamics365-business-central/multiple-production-environments

Can I Create Multiple Production Environment within the same tenant for different localization?

Scenario -

Customer bought a SaaS Tenant.

Created a Production database to US Localized Version.

As they can create an additional production, is it possible to have another production database to be with GB Localized Version? 

Or I am reading it incorrectly? If yes then what is the way that a customer can have multiple SaaS Environment for Different Localized Versions?

I have the same question (0)

    You read it correctly.  You are able to create up to three (3) production environments within one (1) tenant.  Each production environment can be created in different countries.  As you can see in the Screenshot there is an option to select the Country when creating the new Production Environment.

    Hi,

    Existing customers with Business Central Premium or Essentials subscriptions purchased before October 1 2020 will keep their existing environment entitlements (three production and three sandbox environments) for a period of one year until October 1 2021 or until their subscription is renewed or ended, whichever occurs last.

    Access to two additional production environments during this period won't increase your overall database storage capacity and won't enable extra sandbox environments. These benefits are only activated with the production environments purchased by the customers separately.

    Examples:

    Your Business Central subscription renews before October 1 2021 -   You can use up to three production environments until October 1 2021. After that date, you'll only be entitled to one production and three sandbox environments.

     Your Business Central subscription renews after October 1 2021 -      You can use up to three production environments until the day your subscription renews. After that date, you'll only be entitled to one production and three sandbox environments.

     When your entitlement for two additional production environments expires, the additional production environments you may have created during that period will still be fully available, you will not be automatically charged for the extra environments, but in order to become compliant you will have to purchase additional production environments via your CSP partner within 30 days following the expiration date. See the Exceeding capacity quotas section for more details.

    Use the Capacity page to see how many environments of each type you have available for your organization.

    Horia Mico is absolutely right. But if required, recent customers can create additional Production environment paying a price .

    Now, customers can create unlimited number of production environment paying extra to Microsoft [check with your CSP partner for the respective country price]. Each additional Production environment comes with additional 3 sandboxes and 4GB of additional space. You can find more details in the below link:

    Hi

    We are unable to upgrade our 2 x Production environments from v18 to v19. There are no technical error messages, however the capacity section of the admin center shows we have exceeded our quota of prod environments.

    Would this be the reason why?

    Many thanks

    Hi Benken,

    The difficulty in upgrading the prod environment is due to an update from Microsoft for recently renewed (before Oct 1 2021) premium and essential Business Central subscriptions where the user is entitled to only 1 production and 3 sandbox environments.

    Post upgrade, though your entitlement for additional environment expires, the created additional environment would still be available without any automated charges. But to become compliant, you'll have to purchase additional production environments through your CSP partner within 30 days following the expiration date.

    Hope this helps.

    Saurav,

    I just finished an implementation where I had 2 countries, in addition to a US country. The tenant was in the US and I then added the SKU: Dynamics 365 Business Central Additional Environment Addon (SKU - 642447e8-06fe-4176-b0e4-8745aa293722). I had to purchase this 2 times to add an additional Production and 3 Sandboxes, per Country.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi All,

    I am also trying to create additional production environment for BC Saas, but I think I need to purchase additional license, first. Is this correct?

    Do you maybe know who much is the additional licenses?

    Hi Damjan,

     You need to contact your Direct CSP to acquire Dynamics 365 Business Central Additional Environment Add-on which activate 1 Prod  + 3 Sandbox.  

     If you need more space too,  activate Dynamics 365 Business Central Database Capacity ( X GB ) addon

    docs.microsoft.com/.../tenant-admin-center-capacity

     Your Direct CSP will provide you costs for each Add-on you are planning to activate.

    Regards, Horia
