Business Central Licensing Question

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 48

We have a client who is under the impression that they can have both Essentials and Premium licenses in the same tenant as long as they are in different companies.  Does anyone have the definitive Microsoft policy on this?

    Check the licensing guide. Under “Minimum License Purchase Requirement”

    As long as their in different environment (not company).

    You can have two productions environment: one in Essential and one Premium.

    As long as you don't have a mixture of license, it will work.

    When you have a mixture, everyone will error out and the admin need to disable the odd user.
