Hi, yes as long as they are 2 different types, like 1 portal community and 1 portal partner. There is currently no support for installing the same portal multiple times on the same instance. Once you have the 2nd type you can copy/re-create components from one to another and remove other components so they have the same functionality.

Plan 1 comes with 1 portal addon free, you need to purchase an additional portal addon through the Office 365 admin center. Go to Billing > Purchase Services and look for "Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition - Additional Portal". Once you have purchased the new addon it will show up as another addon in applications.

the $500 one... :( sorry to be the bad news guy. The other one is for additional page views. Each portal addon comes with 1 million page views per month.

For resetting the portal I would advise opening a support request so that Microsoft can put your addon in a state that will allow you to resubmit the provisioning. I am not aware of a supported way of resetting the portal yourself right now.

Hi Colin,

"Once you have the 2nd type you can copy/re-create components from one to another and remove other components so they have the same functionality"

Does this mean if I have the Partner Portal installed, and I would like a component from say the Community Portal (e.g. Ideas functionality), I can also install the Community Portal on the same instance and move components to the the Partner Portal website? If not is there another way of achieving this?

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce, yes you can after installing the other site re-parent the features to the site you want. You will just ensure you move over all the required data for that particular feature.

Hi Jason, yes we are looking at bringing the knowledge base into our customer/partner portal. Don't worry the content will be the same! Actually even better as the Dynamics Portals will give us more functionality than UserVoice for better categorization and relating articles, promoting new features and functions...watch this space! :-)
