Breakdown by Optimization Pattern
The analysis identifies potential cost savings based on standard Microsoft licensing rules and pricing. Before implementing any changes, please carefully consider the following points:
- Minimum Commitments & Terms: Before reducing license counts, review your Microsoft agreement for any minimum commitment clauses or specific terms associated with the licenses being changed, as early adjustments might have contractual implications.
- Strategic Timing: If possible, align license adjustments with your Microsoft subscription renewal or review cycles to streamline administrative overhead and billing.

Common Recommendation
Maintain Microsoft 365 E5. Maintain Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials as the qualifying 'base' license. Change Dynamics 365 Sales Professional to an 'attach' license. Attach licenses offer the same functionality at a significantly lower price when assigned to a user with a valid base license.
