    I suggest to check the Licensing Guide here:

    go.microsoft.com/.../

    With Device license any number of users can access a licensed device with individual logins without the

    need for separate User SLs. If individual users share one login, their individual usage cannot be tracked.

    Business Central device license is a limited license with a subset of Business Central capabilities.

    Device SL Functionality

    Point of Sale One device located in the Commerce location, used by any individual, for completing customer

    facing sales of goods or services transactions

    Store

    Manager

    One device located in the Commerce location, used by any individual, dedicated to performing

    the following tasks solely for that Commerce location. Commerce location or Store means a

    physical location (static or itinerant) operated by you when closing goods or services

    transactions with customers:

    • Managing and replenishing inventory

    • Balancing cash registers and processing daily receipts

    • Configuring and maintaining menu options displayed by the ISV Devices

    • Purchasing supplies and services required to run the Commerce Location operations

    • Managing Commerce Location staff

    • Processing reports required to analyze and manage Commerce Location results

    • Managing master data related to Commerce Location operations

    Shop Floor

    One device used for manufacturing shop-floor functions. Shop Floor Functions:

    • Clock-in and clock-out

    • Starting and finishing production jobs (including project activities carried out on the shop

    floor)

    • Reporting progress

    • Materials consumption and completion

    • Viewing documents and instructions related to production jobs

    • Viewing worker holiday balances

    Warehouse

    Device

    One device used for Warehousing functions:

    • Receiving

    • Putting-away

    • Doing internal stock transfers

    • Picking, packing

    • Capturing product attributes

    • Shipping goods plus performing inventory count checks in the context of a warehouse

    management system

    • Posting output and materials consumption against production orders when captured as

    transfers of raw materials and finished goods between a warehouse and a production line

    (all other types of transactions are excluded)

    hello, in the latest documentation they specify the licenses for shared and individual login, as sales/customer service device license gives shared login when operations can have individual logins for the device users. Is this valid or can you have individual logins with Customer service device license?

    thank you

    If a Store Manager is ONLY going to do the functions outlined in the Business Central Device license capabilities - can they run the Business Central Mobile Modern Client on a tablet to do them or does the license require third party software?
