Business Central Device Licenses

Hello,
 
We want to understand if there are any differences in the functionalities provided by BC - Premium License and BC - Device Licenses for Cloud version.
 
Can a device license provide the same functionalities and features of a Premium license? (We understand it will be attached to one device)
 
regards
I have the same question (0)

    Hi, 
    The device license applies to certain specific scenarios and its associated functionality I recommend you check the licensing guide where the different uses and functionality are collected .

    As far as I know, this is not exactly the same as Premium, as the Device license is priced lower.
    Some info:
     
    Thanks.

    Hello,
     
    As others have indicated Device licenses are designed for use on a handheld or 'shop floor' PC. I understand they allow users to preform any actions they would as if it was a Premium or Essential licensed environment (you cant mix Premium and Essenial in the same envirionment).
     
    Setting your envrionment to use deviced liceses requires the use of Intune, creating a specific security group and assiging all the users and the devicve licenses to that securty group. The exact name of the sceurty group is : Dynamics 365 Business Central Device Users
     
     
    Best
