Hello,

Issue titleLicenses consult - What happen if we remove all Business Central user licenses in a Tenant?Issue descriptionWe have a customer that wants to pause the Business Central project, and they ask to remove all Business Central user licenses. But, in a future they would like to resume the project from the point they left it, can they keep the tennat even if all licenses are removed? What would happen in that case?

Regards,

Nicolas Payan

    If you remove all licensee it means cancelation which cause "All data related to the subscription is deleted if the subscription is not reactivated by the end of the subscription's term."

    Hi, If you need to resume later, I recommend you keep at least one user license. You can think of it as a fee for retaining data.

    Hope the following helps as well.
