Posted on by AlbertoH 55

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to activate Business Central Essential and Premium licenses? For example, I want one user to have an Essential license and another user a Premium license

In the 365 admin center I only see these licenses:

    Hi Alberto,

    In the same environment it is not possible to have the both licenses, but yes if you use two environment.

    Hi, as Roberto mentioned, you may license users either with an Essentials license or a Premium license, but not both. 

    This is documented in the Dynamics 365 | Licensing Guide.

    If you purchased a Premium license, you can switch it in Company Information.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
