Can you explain the Power Apps licensing in a simple way? This is (by far) the most commonly asked question that comes up about Power Apps - here is my way of deconstructing it to make it easier to understand. NOTE: this is not an official Microsoft licensing video or guide - for the full details (or you have any more specific questions), please visit powerapps.micr...

Hi Lisa, so a company that already has an 'E3' level Microsoft license and wants to create a 'desk and room booking' (Canvas-based UI) PowerApp linked back to these resources built on Exchange would not have to pay any additional fees if I understand this correctly because that would be classed as a 'common connector'...
[With the whole Covid19 / back to work thing there are plenty of companies looking to do this at the moment and I'm told Microsoft are introducing a type resource into Exchange next month btw.]
Yes, you should be able to do that with your E3 licence based on what you've said here.
Thank you for helping the community Lisa! Extremely valuable information.
Awesome David, thank you!
Ohhhh, Lisa Lisa. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Simple and straight to the point.
My pleasure, thanks so much for watching.
Thanks a lot Lisa! The best explanation so far!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much Mauricio
Hi Lisa, nice video. Thanks for taking the time to create it and your other videos. A potential client has asked me to create a him simple ordering system. He has a 365 Business Standard license. I have two questions. 1. How do I deliver the solution to him? Do I build it by logging into his 365 account and building it there? Or is there another (better) way? 2. Are there any hidden costs with using Dataverse? Thanks!
Hi Tony, thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful. As far as I'm aware 365 Business Standard doesn't include Power Apps, so your client may need to look at a higher level O365 licence or purchase a per app license for Power Apps. There are 2 ways to build for a client --either they give you a login to their system (development environment) and you build directly in their environment. Otherwise you can build in your own environment and export as a solution that can be uploaded to their environment. There are costs associated with Dataverse, but they aren't hidden - you do need to buy a full Power Apps plan license to use it.
@@LisaCrosbie Thanks a lot!
Hi Lisa, is okay to share an app under a free development environment?
The video is very useful,one question if the business user already has power bi license ,is it required to buy power app license separately?
Yes. Power Apps licensing is included in Microsoft 365 licenses or purchased standalone. It’s separate from Power BI licenses.
If I have a per user license and create an application that uses premium connectors, and share it with other team members in my organization, will they be able to use that application with the standard license that comes with E3 subscription or will they need to have a per user license as well since the application uses premium connectors?
Thank you you just simplified this for me!!! Great job!
Awesome, thanks so much, glad it helped!
I am new on this, , a question, what happend if a App that is in production change the environment in the canvas?
Thank you for this. How about this scenario: I have a desktop MS Access database. I'd like a mobile app that gives me read/write access to the same database to use within Teams. Not quite as full-featured as the custom Access db, but great for access to the same data on the go. I understand connecting them to SQL Server requires the premium Power Apps license and would price me out. I am considering Business Standard, which would have me using SharePoint. SharePoint has some limitations when using it as a back-end. What do you recommend and what kind of license would be required? Thanks!
Have you considered Dataverse for Teams? That pretty much ticks all the boxes (and is included in Teams licensing rather than Power Apps premium licensing) although it would involve moving your data off Access. ruclips.net/video/wvS3yusoH9k/видео.html
Thank You!
Currently we have two 'power app Pro license' for development and we are going to embed App on 'SharePoint On-Premise'..Users having access of Sharepoint only are able to view and use our app on Sharepoint? or each user needs power app license even to just view app on sharepoint? Could you Please guide us...
Every user needs a licence, but if the app in on SharePoint that should be covered by the PowerApps license included in Office 365
@@LisaCrosbie Thank You!:)
Hi, I wish you could help me with our use case. As understood, it is not possible with our use case? Here's our scenario/ use case:
We are a software developer who would like to use Power Apps as our low-code platform. We would like to build an application software that is stand alone and we can sell to our clients/ customers. Using the Power Apps, this scenario is not possible, right?
You can build an app on this platform and sell it through Microsoft App Source, but it is still connected to the platform - users would always need to be licensed. So you're right, this is not for building stand alone applications not connected to the Microsoft platform
I'm using power apps to create a flow and using dataverse as a database to store flow records with the help of a Microsoft Office 365 License. So, do I need to purchase power apps plans or not?
If you are using Dataverse that is part of Power Apps premium licensing so yes, you will need to pay for that. If you are just using flow with Office 365 and viewing the flow history in Power Automate you don’t need a premium license.
@@LisaCrosbie right now i have developer account of power apps and using flow with dataverse which runs smoothly...in case it expired so, how can i upgrade it to Power apps per user plan?
Nicely and simply explained the whole licensing thing along with the use cases, thanks. a lot for this video. We will love getting videos on Power Automate.
Cheers...Aziz
I haven’t done any on Power Automate ... yet! Perhaps I should. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi thank you your content is per app allows unlimited users ?
No, the per app licence is per user per app. Just means you can license individual users for a single app instead of a full plan covering multiple apps if you don’t need that.
I’d appreciate if you can answer me. I created an app without using any premium connector, unless I’m accidentally used one, but there’s no diamond icon at my connectors. I want the app to remain standard in order for my users to access but the app has become Premium, any way to solve?
How do you know it has become premium, I'm not sure what you mean by that? What connectors have you got in the app?
Great explanation!
Thanks!
great - thankyou
Are you kidding me!! $40 pr user/month.. We ar 600 users. thats $24K / month :-D Rediculous..
Makes K2, Nintex etc much much much more attractive since you could buy those entire systems (and get the exact same low/no code functionality AND get the ability to access/integrate what MS class as 'Premium' for no extra cost AND pay their yearly maintenance fees) for the cost of a month or two, tops, of using a couple of PowerApps ...
Wonderful explanation!
Thanks so much Scott
