Base & Attach Licensing
All Dynamics 365 users require a base license per the most expensive app, with attach licenses for additional apps. We ensure that you're not paying for a double base.

Why Dynamics 365 Licensing is Getting Complicated
Dynamics 365 is sold on a base-plus-attach basis in over 30 apps, tiers, and user types. Then add Microsoft's rolling licence enforcement, based on each customer's own renewal date, and most ANZ businesses are over-licensed, under-compliant or both without knowing it.
How DHRP Will Manage Your Dynamics 365 Licensing
We will have a complete Dynamics 365 licence compliance audit, which maps users, apps, and seats against actual usage, alerting you to any waste before it costs you.
From there, we handle renewals, right-size seats as your organisation evolves, and ensure you never miss Microsoft's deadlines; your licensing stays optimised, not just compliant, all year round.
- Complete audit and optimisation of 365 user licenses.
- Microsoft CSP procurement at competitive prices for the ANZ region.
- Continuous compliance monitoring before renewals.
- Adjust seats to match the size of your team.

Choose From Dynamics 365 License Types & Models
Dynamics 365 licensing differs depending on the applications your customers need, how often they use them, and whether they need access to extra Power Platform tools. In order to prevent paying for access while making sure the individuals have the functionality they need, DHRP assists you in understanding the available licensing options and matching them to your users and business requirements.
Per-User & Team Member Licensing
Full users receive per-app licenses for Sales, Customer Service, Field Service or Finance. Team Member licenses are for users who occasionally need to read, approve, or update content only, at a reduced price.
Device & Activity Licensing
Device licenses are ideal for shared workstations that are used by staff on different shifts. Activity licenses are used for transactional warehouse and operations positions, to maintain lower cost for task-based, non-decision-making users.
Per-App Licensing for Power Apps
Licenses individual Power Apps for certain individuals, granting them access to unique apps developed on the Power Platform. This is helpful when a small number of employees require a specially designed app instead of a full Dynamics 365 seat.
Per-User Licensing with Power Automate
Power Automate (previously Microsoft Flow) allows users to automate operations across Dynamics 365 and other systems; it is licensed separately from your core app licenses and is licensed per user.
Copilot Studio Session-Based License
If you're installing AI agents or chatbots, Copilot Studio (previously Power Virtual Agents) is worth paying for separately. It is licensed per tenant,nt and consumption is charged per "session" rather than per user.

How We Reduce Your Dynamics 365 Expenses
Purchasing correctly is more important for cost-effective Dynamics 365 license management than purchasing fewer. DHRP finds underutilised seats, incorrect-tier licenses, and duplicate base licenses that the majority of ANZ companies are unaware they are paying for through practical license audits.
Audit and Optimization of Licenses
After comparing each Dynamics 365 user license to actual usage, we identify duplicate base licenses, mismatched levels, and inactive seats before rearranging your license mix to better suit your team's needs.
Support for Licensing and Procurement
Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all solution, DHRP assists you in directly purchasing and managing your Dynamics 365 licenses in accordance with your real consumption and renewal cycle.

What Does DHRP’s Dynamics 365 Licensing Service Include?
From audit to renewal, we can manage your Dynamics 365 lifecycle. Whether you need a one-off compliance check or ongoing enterprise D365 subscription management, we have you covered.
License Compliance Audit
We assign each license and then match it with what the actual users are using to alert you to potential compliance issues before Microsoft's enforcement review at renewal.
License Optimisation & Right-Sizing
Wherever possible, we remove duplicate base licenses, downgrade unused seats and match the person to the lowest license of that type that they need.
Licensing Procurement & Management
We support buying, billing, and assigning licenses directly, so you’ll have one point of contact, eliminating any need to deal with Microsoft support.
Renewal & Enforcement Support
We monitor your renewal dates and Microsoft's rolling enforcement dates; you'll never be caught unlicensed or frantically trying to renew on the day.
Ongoing License Management
We continuously change your license because your usage and team members are changing, and we don't leave it to you to fix it every year.

Get in touchOn average, these savings are in the thousands of dollars, but the majority of ANZ organisations we audit are paying for unused seats, incorrect tier licenses, or paying for duplicate base licenses that they do not require. A good audit will reveal significant and continuous savings by identifying each user against the lowest-priced license to meet the job performed, rather than a blanket license.
Microsoft no longer enforces one set deadline, but has switched to a "rolling" model based on the customer's own contract renewal. The length of time to receive a review is approximately 90 days prior to the renewal date, and receiving a notification from unlicensed users would be at 30 days prior to the renewal date.
If the user truly requires two separate Dynamics 365 applications. All users must have a base licence corresponding to their highest-priced app and can also purchase attach licences for extra features (which is a far more common and expensive error than paying for a second base licence).
They are no longer sold; they have been phased out, and their contracts may be held over until the renewal date. DHRP will review your setup and migrate you to the current equivalent (Human Resources, Project Operations or per-app model) without disrupting your operations.
Business Central Essentials includes fundamental sales and financial management capabilities. Premium provides all the features of Essentials and includes manufacturing and service order management; this is well worth it if you have that requirement in your business.
