    Hi Lisa, Thanks for your video; it has helped me quite a bit but I still can't understand the licensing required by Users. I have published a model driven app using D365 Dataverse tables, but internal users seem to be able to access these tables in the app without D365 licenses - in some cases, even with just O365 E5 licenses. This seems strange and I don't want to breach terms (if there are no systematic guards in place from MS) but what I don't want to do is pay for Users to have D365, Power Platform and O365 licences if they only need one of these!

    Lisa! Your videos are always so helpful and easy to understand! Question- and you mix and match? For example if we have two apps- one is used all the time and the other only occasionally - could we do the per app license for one and the pay as you go for the other? Forgive me if this is a silly question... new to this stuff.

    • @LisaCrosbie

      As soon as you use Dataverse at all, then yes, you need a premium license.

    • @NeilCotton1984

      @Lisa Crosbie thank you for the clarification Lisa. That blows my mind honestly that this is classed as "Premium", given that solutions and data modles that we are building are custom/proprietary, and we are already paying for the capacity in there.

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад +1

      The app will only be accessible to anyone licensed in your environment. For a patient survey I’d suggest having a look at Dynamics 365 Customer Voice. That can be connected back to a model driven app if you use Dataverse as a patient database.

    When you subscribe for that 5/month or $10/ month etc, does that include premier connections , or do we pay additional for the premier connectors.? Also, for storage, after the initial 1GB, it cost $48 for every additional GB! That is very expensive !!! I am thinking of using SQL gateway to connect to on premise sql server, which I think is a lot more cost effective than going the Dataverse or Azure SQLDB route. Do I pay additional for using the gateway or, is that included when you do your monthly subscription ( per user)
    The licensing is so complex and it is very difficult to do estimation for any cloud environment….

    • @kylewalp5897

    Hi Lisa, Thank you for your clear explanation. I have a basic question. I as a Developer build Apps using Power Apps. The application which I develop will be used by some external users who collects the data. What type of License would I as a developer would require and what type of license should application user who use application for collecting the information should have?
    300 to 400 end users will be using the application which I built for data collection purpose on day to day basis. We all have O365 licenses.

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад +3

      Power Apps licensing is based on the users - every user will need to have a license of some kind. It's not built for external users, the users would need to be in your tenant as users or guests. The type of license required will depend on the data source you are using to collect the data. If it's going into a SharePoint list, for instance, that will work with your Office 365 license. If you are using a premium data source such as Dataverse or an enterprise database you would need a premium license per user.

    @2007pradipta 2 года назад

    firstly keep smiling. Nicely explained. But I am little confused. Suppose I want to only implement PowerApps and Power Automate in my application. For that Power Apps Per User License is enough or I need M365 (E3 of F3) or O365 license ? Power Apps Per User License can't work standalone ?

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад

      Power Apps / Power Automate operates within your Microsoft 365 tenant. Every user needs to login with their Office 365 / Microsoft 365 credentials. So, you can't use Power Apps / Power Automate without that.

  • @chrisyleenz
    @chrisyleenz 2 года назад

    Thanks Lisa, loving your videos.
    One question I still don't really understand is, if we are a small team but we might be able to combine many modules together by using 2 to 3 powerApps, can we just all log in with one main email and use those 3 apps?
    Would that count as 1 user or more users?
    And if I built multiple screens connecting to multiple modules and we can just run with 1 app instead of many apps, would the be considered as 1 app?

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад

      Each user needs an individual named license, creating a single one and sharing it wouldn't adhere to the licensing agreement. You can build a single app that has as many screens as you need though, that's legitimate if it makes sense for your use case.

    Hi Lisa, can we use Microsoft Developer plan to develop and test Solutions. Do you see any limitations or challenge instead of having paid licenses?

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  Год назад

      Using a developer plan to develop and test is exactly what it’s for. You can do that with no problem. But when you want to share it you will need to export it and put it in an environment and then every user will need a license.

  • @tephycf
    @tephycf 3 года назад +2

    Hi Lisa! Thanks for sharing! I have a question though. If I create a Canvas app through the regular Power Apps environment with premium connectors (Dataverse), but I add it to Teams for the end users to access and use it directly from Teams, would that still imply premium licencing costs or would that be treated as Dataverse for Teams? Thanks a lot in advance!

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  3 года назад +1

      Yes that would still be premium licensing because you have built using full Dataverse regardless of where you publish or deploy the app in the end. Dataverse for Teams has less in it and you need to build from that starting point in Teams to be using that license.

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад +1

      Users are added and managed through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, so yes, you do need each user to have a Microsoft 365 license, it's not standalone without that.

      @markkendal5490 2 года назад

      @@LisaCrosbie Thank you, yes that makes sense. On reflection I realise that I worded my question badly. What I was thinking about was, is there a need to have one of the "Office" licenses as well such as Business Basic,, Business Standard or Business Premium. In the above example some of my clients staff would need a PowerApp but would not need Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc, Ideally therefore my client would just buy a PowerApp per app license but not one of the other licenses that I mentioned.

  • @krie9er422
    @krie9er422 Год назад

    Thanks for the explanation, but do I get it right the license always covers a developer option, which means devs are billed as users. So I have a small company where I create the app, I pay 5$ and then I need to pay 5$ per user, in my case 20. This means an relative simple app would quickly cost me 105$ per month. Maybe I concider a freelancer again :-D who just builds it in PHP. Or did I got it wrong?

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  Год назад +1

      Yes, that's correct. However, the value of the licensing is really when you look at the possibilities of multiple use cases/apps across the platform - the cost per user for a single app can work if it is a core/mission critical app but once you consider a per user license and they are using dozens of apps the cost vs benefit looks different. If you just want to build one relatively simple app you will likely find more cost effective options, yes.

    Thanks, Lisa. I have a query that you might be able to answer. We already have model-driven Apps deployed for various business areas and wish to streamline this to reduce licence costs. We are currently paying a full customer engagement licence for all staff, but we would like to save costs by opting for a Power app per app licence, per user, or PAYG licencing. Some business teams use more than one App to run their operations. Can I deploy one single app in this scenario by combining relevant apps so that people can access tables in a single app with 1 per-app licence instead of allocating each license for every app?

    • @LisaCrosbie
      @LisaCrosbie  2 года назад

      Yes, you can create one big single app for everyone to use with a per app license. However - there are many features in the customer engagement app that won't be included in that, so if you are using Dynamics 365 sales functionality, for instance, that won't be covered by a per app license.

    So can we NOT, having E5 M365 licenses for all our users, have Dataverse tables as the data source for a canvas app that we render through the SharePoint web part for our users? I know I can add Dataverse tables as data sources - but are you saying that the app will not function this way?
    Please forgive my ignorance.

    • @LisaCrosbie

      Hi Kenny, the Dataverse for Teams licensing only covers use cases in Teams. Think of it as like extending and customising Teams. As soon as you want to take your app out of Teams then it’s a “standalone” Power App and you need to look at the Power Apps licensing. Power Apps are licensed by user not by maker, so yes, everyone using it would need the appropriate license.

    Would that be included in the powerapps per user license, or would that require an additional power automate license per user?

      Power Apps premium licenses include Power Automate flows that run in the contaxt of your app - which refers to using the same data sources for triggers or actions as the app. If you are creating or using Power Automate flows using a different data source then you need to buy Power Automate licensing.

    I have the Power Apps Premium license and have created an App that connects to Dataverse (not Teams Dataverse). What license do the users of this App need to be able to use the app and read/write/create/delete data in Dataverse?

      Users will also need a power apps premium license or per app license
