Business Central 14 hosting possibilities

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by FPB2 5

Hi,

Now that Business Central 14 is available as CSP only, is it still possible to host BC14 for customers (with hybrid or local installation)?

If yes, can we host it on dedicated virtual machines (on shared hardware), or must it be dedicated hardware to the customer?

If it must be installed on dedicated hardware, can the storage be shared?

The licensing terms are not very clear to me.

Thanks!

    Business Central 14.0 and all later versions can be purchased in one of three ways:

       (1) CSP - Monthly licensing through Microsoft's CSP licensing program,

       (2) On Premise Perpetual - Purchase licenses up front through Microsoft Business Solutions and installed on local or hosted servers, or 

       (3) On Premise Subscription - Monthly licensing purchased through Microsoft Business Solutions and hosted on a Microsoft Partner's servers.

    CSP licenses are dual use licenses, meaning that the licenses can not only be used on the Microsoft public cloud (BC Online), but also can be installed on local on premise servers as well as servers hosted by the company or the partner.  The hosted servers can be dedicated servers or hosted on a multitenant environment.

    I hope this helps!
