Hi All,

I working on MS CRM 2016 on premise and need to know how to check my setup that related to MS CRM 2016 licensing is already fit and properly such as security roles, license type, and access mode. Refers to http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/B/6/1B632F92-F67A-4FB1-92F9-23E0169ABA79/Microsoft%20Dynamics%20CRM%20Online%20Licensing%20and%20Pricing%20Guide%20Spring%202016.pdf for simple sample, the basic license type not have access right for "Create workflows, bulk data import, and customizations across any entity" but after i tried to setup on license type in user using Basic and mapped the user to system administrator security role, I still create new workflow and even create new entity using that user and I checked on deployment manager they count it as basic.

Is there any easy way to making sure about this? please advise.

nb:

now I just have 2 license type plan for basic and professional.

thanks in advanced.

Licensing restrictions aren't enforced but go more based on the honor system.

This blog post shows a pretty good representation of how you'd need to set up a security role to mimic a basic license.

Here is the download link for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 On-Premise Licensing Guide:

download.microsoft.com/.../Microsoft%20Dynamics%20CRM%202016%20On-Premises%20Licensing%20and%20Pricing%20Guide.pdf

Check Appendix A for License Types and features. There are actually three license types that you can use: Essential, Basic and Professional.

And of course as Jason added, licensing restrictions are not enforced, they are based on honor system, so use the license that corresponds to the features that you are using.

Hope this helps.
