In Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O), licensing is based on access rights, not actual usage. As a result, many organizations are paying for expensive licenses that go unused. Sometimes by as much as 95% of their workforce.
Why? Because gaining visibility into license consumption is complex. Without clear insight, businesses struggle to align licenses with real user needs and risk costly over-provisioning.
Starting January 15, 2026, Microsoft is enforcing stricter license compliance with real consequences:
This isn’t just about cost optimization. It’s about operational continuity. If your licensing model doesn’t match actual user roles, users could be locked out and your business could grind to a halt.
Many Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O users are still confused about:
Why are certain licenses being triggered?
What’s the financial impact of Microsoft’s 2026 changes?
What happens if users lose access due to misaligned licenses?
The webinar didn’t just answer these. It gave the attendees a clear, actionable roadmap to avoid costly mistakes and ensure your team stays connected.
Microsoft’s new licensing rules aren’t theoretical. They are live, and they are already affecting, how you manage your Dynamics 365 F&O environment. If you’re still reviewing your licensing model, you’re not just delaying cost savings, you’re risking user access and business continuity.
The webinar was held on February 25, 2026 as a consultative webinar designed to give you the clarity, control, and roadmap you need with Mads Pulkkinen as key speaker.
The licensing rules are live. The clock is ticking. If you’re responsible for Dynamics 365 F&O licensing, governance, or IT operations, you need to act now to protect your budget, your users, and your operations.
